Yayati Ushas 1 (Yayati)

A peacock strides across a stylized shore as an exuberant tree unfurls above it, its curling branches populated by mask-like faces that seem to bloom and dissolve like thoughts in motion. The high-key greens and heated reds create a charged, dreamlike atmosphere where nature becomes a theatre of the psyche—ornament and emotion braided into the same winding line. By letting foliage morph into visages, the composition suggests memory and myth embedded in the landscape, while the peacock’s poised silhouette anchors the scene with a quiet dignity amid the surrounding imaginative turbulence.
