Sukhkarta (Ganesha in Rainbow Hues)

This abstracted embrace—suggestive of an elephant’s tender, sheltering presence—rises from a cool blue field like a memory surfacing through water, its contours softened into an intimate, almost maternal silhouette. Vertical bands of saturated red, yellow, and green stream downward in liquid strata, turning color into emotion: joy and urgency bleeding into gravity, as if the figure carries both celebration and sorrow within the same body. The interplay of opaque shadow and translucent drips creates a push-pull between solidity and dissolution, proposing care as something powerful yet impermanent, always slipping beyond our grasp. In this way, the work reads as a meditation on protection in a precarious world—where tenderness persists even as time washes everything through.
