EXISTENCE the word independently is so strong and expressive in its own. It talks about validity of anything real or abstract. For me it has been a very significant term which connects and describes my own living. Nature has always been a very important reason behind my artworks and its origin. I have always believed that it has been an influence behind my creations. Having grown up in a place which is surrounded by trees, plants, flowers I have always been mentally and practically connected with them and thus so are my works. Very scarcely do we actually feel or agree the existence of a tree or any plant in the practical space of our lives. Due to my upbringing and the relationship i have mentally with the life of Mother Nature I actually feel and live the existence of the lives of them. I can listen to their pains, anger, joy and other different emotions. In this series of works I have visually depicted the different emotions which nature has and which remains unspoken amongst us. I have tried to speak about their lives their pathos their reactions visually through my works. I aspired to create a language for them through which they can tell us their stories by visualising the emotions and replicating the same with the visuals of Human reactions I have experimented and endeavoured to place the reactions for different situations of Mother Nature conceptualising and comparing it with the reactions of us Human Beings. The surface the paper I have used for doing my works have become a t otalitarian process as I have made them personally and I have tried to showcase the structure and shape of it accordingly as an independent drawing. My works also speaks about the co relationship which we have visually with Mother Nature and I have created a narrative from my own imagination with images which shows similarities, origins, dependency etc. with Human body parts and Mother Nature.
