Performance Art - Carbon paper mono print on canvas

137 x 137 x 12 cm

This artwork of mark making, the canvas emerges as a poignant demonstration to the passage of time, each step upon its surface leaving behind a mark of history, a trace, desires and aspirations. Installed within the boundaries of Khan Market, the vibrant centre of sophistication and luxury in New Delhi, this artwork becomes not just visual feast but a profound reflection of societal narratives and human experiences.The location of Khan Market serves not merely as a backdrop but as an integral part of the artwork’s narrative, infusing it with a cultural dynamism of its surrounding.At its core, this artwork serves as a mirror to the human condition, capturing the essence of social mobility and the relentless pursuit of desires. The canvas becomes a repository of collective desires, a visual symphony of hopes and aspirations etched into its very fabric. Yet, beyond the surface lies a deeper commentary on the commodification of human experience. The traditional medium of canvas, once a vessel for artistic expression, now transformed into a commodity to be bought and sold, mirroring the very journey of those who traversed its surface. Through layers of symbolism and texture, this artwork invites viewers to contemplate the intricate dance between humanity and its environment, where the echoes of past footsteps merge with the whispers of tomorrow's desires.
