The work is based on the poem ‘Postcard from Kashmir’ by Kashmiri-American poet Agha Shahid Ali. The central theme of the poem is nostalgia, sentimental and national feelings of the poet towards his birthplace or motherland. It is a bittersweet love letter from an exile to the homeland he left behind. In the poem’s context, this separation from the beloved homeland is even more poignant because it is a land riddled with conflict and violence. Ali's poetry reflects the tales of those Kashmiri people who faced loss, oppression and cruelty at the same time, and also weaved the threads of history and those who were so dear to him. Here I have tried to capture the emotions of the poet and those people about whom he has mentioned.

An artist, living and working in Baroda, India. I am a painter and digital artist. In my recent work I'm trying to show the present day scenario of terrified, politically disturbed world. We see destruction more than constructive efforts. The funny part of this century is human beings do anything and everything; either good or bad, either constructing the temple, mosque or a church; or demolishing the same; we do not forget to include the name of god/religion in such scenario as well. The same thing we do, when at war with any nation or a neighbor. The present day scenario has hit us all. Financially, socially, politically, emotionally and physically. And in this show of power or super power, the most affected are the innocent souls, the children and the common people. No political agendas or diplomatic talks. Simply innocent souls, who don't know anything. They are the victims who loose their lives or identity. I'm not a political artist, but subconsciously I can't ignore it. If I try to escape, I can't. When I read the news paper or watch news on television, my mind gets destructed by knowing about some horrible incidents. When I try to focus and concentrate on something; get diverted all the time. My works are just outcome of such things. So I can sum up my current works as the depiction of what is going on around us; war, casualties, restlessness, self defense and security measures. So far as an artist I used to paint, what I used to like and admire. But the present scenario has forced my conscious to paint what I don't like and want people to have a glimpse of what we have made our world to be.
