‘Anubandh – Connectedness’ is the artist’s response to the isolation, loneliness and trepidation arising from the pandemic. At a time of uncertainity in a fractured world, Anubandh is a call to the transformative power of hope.

Anubandh seeks to recognise and re-claim our primordial relationships: with the Sun and the Moon, as also with the Five Great Elements (or the Pancha Mahabhuta-s) as they are honoured in India: Prithvi – Earth, Apah – Water, Agni – Fire, Vayu – Wind and Akasha – Space.

The artist invites you to journey with her – from the familiar to the unfamiliar, from the known to the unknown – as the narrative moves from the personal to the shared and from the individual to the collective. The work reinforces our deep links with the Great Elements — the generosity of the Earth, the rejuvenating powers of Water, the caressing pleasure (sukha) of the Wind, the unending depth of sorrow (dukha) in Fire; the wonderment in sensing Space and knowing that the same life-breath (prana) pervades all.

‘Anubandh – Connectedness’ explores the essential relationship between nature and our lives…
