Fifteen artists come together to reflect on the ongoing path
that delineates the present structure of their practices,
conceptualizing the thought process that moulds and defines
their outlook, psyche, and imperatives. Past struggles and current
stimuli etch out the contours of the artist as an individual and
define the path to understanding his praxis.
The process of travelling is an exercise in collection and
influence. Transcendence forms milestones, a moment lingers
in the mind, a place endlessly inspires, experiences melt into
consequences that define the self. Over time, these stories
collect and become the fabric of his defining and outstanding
narrative. Life itself can then be seen as a journey through time.
The artist’s intuitive experiences lead him to raise poignant
questions, pause and reflect… these defining moments, framed
in a medley of abstraction and fulfilment, are his safar — Mera
Safar. Highlighting milestones and defining pitfalls, Mera Safar
maps the journey of the artist’s predicament.
