Where My Home and Allegiance Lies

“The natural world is an incredible place. Sitting quietly and letting nature flow over, connects us to our core. Because it is our deepest and longest human connection, peace is able to seep into the soul. The ecosystem is an all encompassing circle, one that we belong to. This belonging can be felt watching the birds fly, harvesting food, sitting amongst grass and flowers, or hearing the river roll by. Once belonging is deeply felt, love of nature takes hold. We all came from nature, and will all return one day. Protecting our precious environment is truly protecting what makes us human”.

Echoes from the Land of Memories

“Echoes from the land of memories” delve into the recollections of my ancestral home inOkhaldhunga. Each visit to the place awakens a flood of memories, both my own and thosepassed down by my grandmother and relatives who still reside in the village. As I recallforgotten memories, many fading recollections are brought back to me as I wander through thelandscape of my home. While I hold dear to the nostalgic memories of the past, I am also confronted with theever evolving nature of the homescape I once knew so well. I find myself straddling the fine linebetween past and present, memory and...

Unfolding The City

‘Unfolding the City’ is an efflorescence of layers, opening up gracefully like a Pundarikā lotus. These layers are the experiences lived by the artists in this intricately woven city. Each layer is an intimate story, a new perception that redefines the contemporary soul of the city. The exhibition is a collage of diversity that looks at daily rituals of coexistence and curiously questions the traditional knowledge. It celebrates the cultural vibrancy and the folklores that have travelled through the region. It seeks to unravel ethnic roots of the artists, cultivating in them a sense of belonging...

In Search of Vanishing Identities

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,...

Shifting Perspective

Shifting Perspectives explores abstract fine art photography through frozen patterns,compositions, and illusions found in nature. Through my travels in high altitude terrains ofNepal, the series of images embraces the power of perspective- the subtle dance betweensubject and viewer, light and shadow, clarity and abstraction. The images seek to blur the linebetween representation and abstraction, finding careful interplays of lines, colors andpatterns within natural landscapes. The colorful abstract patterns explore the material nature of water and soil in nature. Thevarying relationships...

Meaning Within Meaning

 Arthabhitra ko Artha: ‘Meaning within Meaning’ presents my subjective interpretations into objective realities that surround me. The sculptures and sculptural installations are my experiments into various mediums in order to reflect on questions about the value of divergent ideas and ways of life.  By incorporating ignored and commonplace objects in my work, I try to imagine the potential for transformation within them.  The works are metaphors for ideas and feelings that too are seen as being without value, and are a reflection into their underlying worth. My works are an amalgam of the hand,...

Heart-Mind Monkey

Time moves forward, bringing change as its constant companion. My background in thangka painting commits me to preserving this ancient art for the future. Yet, I’m also drawn to find ways to blend this heritage with the evolving present. “Heart-Mind Monkey” is this blend, a conversation between tradition and change. Buddhist practice often views the ‘monkey mind’ with caution, seeing it as the source of our restlessness and distraction. I see its other side as well: to me, it’s filled with playfulness, warmth, gentleness and above all, curiosity. These...
