2 Goli AL/ 3 Goli AD mixed media on used medic packets 3x3.5inch each 2014

This work deals with the irony and politics behind a riot in which ‘’Goli’ term in Hindi means both "medicine" and "bullet". Sarcastically the cause and the remedy seem similar and rest left to the viewer.

The Violent memories (series)

This work reflects the distortion of a data or a memories in a particular incident, where the causes are undefined to be political or natural but lead to distort and destroy the environment, memories, relations and data between different communities using pixels.

This painting observes the aftermath of the incident where fleeing from their places were the only option of survival for communities. These datas are sarcastically merged with another meaning of running, an image from my own memory, depicting a race as a competition. This work talks about distortions of memories, relations and datas of the communities.
