The Beginning of the Journey

Commanding immediate attention of the viewer, we find in this serigraph religious and tantra-influenced iconography—images of deities, tridents, texts comprising religious chants, symbols and patterns typically found in local Hindu temples, even homes, besides animals and birds. The artist seems to divide the work strategically in three columns, the lower half of the middle panel occupied by a goddess figure. On closer observation, it appears as though the artist has featured himself at the top of the middle panel, in a form where the lower half resembles a bird.
