‘In Search of Vanishing Identities’ pays tribute to the unique essence of every place I encounter in Nepal, a land rich in ethnic diversity and stunning geography. Each location, with its distinct nature and culture, leaves an indelible mark on my soul and fuels my creative journey. Influenced by the vibrant hues of bustling markets and the serene tones of untouched wilderness, the paintings blend traditional techniques with contemporary perspectives to convey the spirit of each place.
The work exhibited serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these identities amid globalization, migration, and environmental changes. Through first-hand experiences, I capture the colors, textures, and forms that define a community’s heritage. By immersing myself into local communities, I allow the unique characteristics of the pace to unfold, revealing the nuanced culture of that space and time. Each piece reflects a personal connection and advocates for safeguarding our cultural and natural diversity.
