Jai Zharotia once summed up his artistic vocabulary as 'emotional distortions', calling it 'abstraction that has an imaginary power'. He gives proof of his fertile imagination through this Untitled work where he enters the mind of a human being who would go to any length—bend and twist improbably, if required—to achieve his dreams. The indistinguishable colour palette establishes it as a dreamscape, where the two worlds between which the central figure is torn are depicted through two different walls at each end of the canvas.
