"Awareness is the greatest agent of change"- Eckhart Tolle
My work reflects and negotiates the landscape of evolving ethics in a global and a rapidly changing society-exploring the delicate balance between a dystopian reality and finding utopia in its continuance. As growth in technology and energy resources facilitates the commodification of time, such advancements lead to the pace or lag of a province in the mentioned context.I strive to explore the “grey” through my work of art by reflecting, catechising and interlacing these cultural complexities and commonalities of evolving ethics.
