KARMA 2 - Limited Edition of 4 Print

Shraddhasastra, the ritualistic means to pay honour to our deceased ancestors has inspired him to select objects that gain sudden importance in the face of death. The black and grey tones of the painting imparts to the visual the greyness of the ash, that which remains after the pyre has burnt down a body completely. The crow is a strong and obvious detail that points to the belief within the Indian myth that feeding to crows is an important ritual that helps pacify our ancestors. The static arrangement of objects within a tight frame gives us a feeling of suffocation. It is definitely a signifier to the constant reminder in humans brains and minds about an impending death and how temporary our lives are.
