Re Imagining Bapu (Reimagining Bapu)

This composition unfurls like an archive being opened—paper planes fanning outward to suggest memory, scholarship, and the slow reconstruction of a cultural figure through fragments. The warm, earthen center panel anchors the eye with a quiet gravitas, while the surrounding images, half-revealed and angled, perform a choreography of glimpses that turns biography into montage. By staging the book as both nucleus and threshold, the work meditates on how histories are not simply read but continually re-imagined through the selective light of what is preserved and what remains peripheral.
