Untitled 669 (Vanishing Beauty)

This stamp-like composition blooms into a jubilant field guide of India, where botanical abundance becomes a quiet argument for cultural plurality and renewal. Vines and blossoms spiral upward in rhythmic profusion, their saturated reds, blues, and golds held in balance by the soft ground—an airy “page” that lets each species breathe while still belonging to a larger ecology. The sweeping arc of “VANISHING BEAUTY” reads like a fragile postal cancellation, suggesting that what we celebrate as decorative is also endangered, already being marked by time’s passage. Butterflies punctuate the surface as fleeting witnesses—small emblems of transformation that make the image feel both celebratory and gently elegiac.
