2021-23
This was a time of intense emotions. Adapting to the post pandemic world, with new belief systems, rising through personal loss and grief, I primarly used art as a way to check in with my soul. Art therapy felt like holding a mirror and looking for the truth. Even though some pieces feel amateur, they saved my life in times of darkness. Therefore , I feel obliged to share it here.
Mechanical
Dragon
This drawing is not about taking power.
It is about standing at the edge of it.

The Unkown
It was created in a time of deep personal turmoil. The Pandemic had created so much confusion and fear. This was a drawing, inspired by H.P Lovecraft's iconic character Cthulhu, the Great Old One. Probably surrendering to cosmic forces which go beyond human understanding.

The Heart of Desire
This artwork was inspired by a feeling that the heart has it's own agenda. It cannot be tamed or controlled. The heart has desires and it's off to fullfill it.
Looking back, I was coming out of a relationship which had run its course.
Roots of Particracy
Art was used as a personal tool of channeling. It was created during a stormy night, there was a power cut, and I was alone in a village in Bengal.
I cried at the end of completing this. I sat with the anxiety that was eating me from inside. It made me see my true emotions, enabling me to step out of the relationship which ran it's course.
This is a surreal art of a penis monster which has 'Marry Me' written subtly. Behind there is the moon, a feminine energy and a bell.
It's crude, raw and real. A very personal piece for my personal growth.
Live Burrial
That feeling when you are being buried alive.
This is my rock bottom.
Parents had passed away. Dealing with banks and property matters was exhausting, and then came the Pandemic, followed by another wave.
Life seemed to be continuously burying me alive. I had no energy to fight back, just witnessing my
Rebirth
Art as a Tool for Manifestation.
This is a drawing on a portal day 21.12.2021 , where I channelled a wishful thinking of walking into a place of greenery and abundance. I lived in the city, where I felt so disconnected from nature.
Now, looking back, I am glad to say I manifested this. Art goes deeper into your soul, it's not about fancy techniques or the price tag, but what it means to YOU!
