Morning Raga (Man with Flute)

This composition reads like a dream recalled in fragments: a rural dwelling, a reclining figure, and a watchful peacock-feather presence suspended within wide fields of purposeful blankness. Saturated planes of magenta, saffron, and deep violet behave less as local color than as emotional weather, pushing and pulling the eye between lived memory and imagined terrain. The sketchlike linework—spare, searching, and unfinished—lets the scene breathe, suggesting that what matters here is not description but the tender instability of perception, where home, body, and nature negotiate a quiet, unsettled harmony.
