Mann Ka Malhar
Series of artwork created for an online exhibition by 'Anant Art'
From left to right:
The Song of Rain: (Before rain)
Here, I tried to show the sync between nature and humans, how they are all connected and its impact when they come together to play a harmony of re-birth.
"It’s going to rain soon,
As the nature awakens
With the sound of Malhar.
The orchestra of wind,
blowing through the trees,
Builds the whisper of nature itself."
Garden of Bloom: (During rain)
When rainfall begins, nature blooms and sways along the cold breeze. Here, I have tried to show humans blooming together with nature and how God decides to shower love equally on every living being and show them their true self after washing all the dirt and giving a chance to let everyone shine.
"Looking up at the grey clouds,
We open our arms, for hope to pour
As the rain falls,
Showering the same crown on all
Letting everyone bloom equally."
Starting Over: (After rain)
This shows the 'after rain' state when everything becomes clear and powerful for humans to rethink and start all over again. Here, the nest plays the metaphor for 'starting over' and a human hand, holding the nest, comes out from the sweet mud left by rain, showing a new beginning.
"The art of rain is powerful,
As it shatters the silence of earth
Leaving behind the sweet odour of wet mud,
For us humans to start over again."
