STATEMENT
In my works the focus is on the bottle. In my compositions I shows some basic shapes, bottles and barbed wire as this is something that can be noticed almost everywhere in Kashmir, where it is being used by FORCES on bunkers and near the camps. The feeling of the bottles is like human being who has been tied by the situation of this place. My aim is to form a composition that breaks the bottles of these barbed wires releasing enormous energy. If I get an opportunity to work in Khoj workshop, I will get a freedom to come up with the composition of freedom of bottles, a composition I have been working on since last one year. Khoj workshop organized here has given me an opportunity to work freely and express my very personal thoughts out of the classroom. I hope that you will like my work and give me the opportunity to come up with the works that are really worth appreciation and with true aesthetical taste.
