The idea for this series of work is derived from my coming across the philosopher, Heidegger, and his concept of being and time. Our absence in normal societal functions during an unfortunate event such as a pandemic leads us to question our own identity and our relation to the larger world. There is a sense of displacement and a feeling of being immobilized in the confines of our own space. The works are an attempt to claim freedom within our own constraints. The very act of creating, whether it is derived from life or imagination, is an active strife to overcome nothingness, and an assertion of our imprint in this temporal time and space.
