This set of works is part of the emerging series around the idea of nature and self. As an environmentalist I have for long struggled to find the root cause of the environmental destruction of the world. Time and again, I tend to think of the reason as the nature of our ‘self’ and its separateness from the ‘world.’ To me the idea of the self as a separate identity, and our treating it as such, leads one to think of the environment as ‘outside, ’ and hence alien and destructible. Desire for unity from the duality, the merging of the self and the ‘other’ and the becoming ‘one,’ with one’s ‘true’ nature and nature itself.
