Cityscape (Bombay)

This work stages a restless coastal construction where scaffolds, masts, and fragmented hulls emerge from milky washes like memories surfacing through fog. Cool blues and grays pool at the base, while abrupt planes of yellow and ember-red punctuate the haze, turning light itself into a force that both reveals and erodes form. The composition oscillates between blueprint-like linearity and painterly dissolution, suggesting a threshold where industry meets tide—human ambition continually being revised by weather, time, and water. In that tension, the scene becomes less a literal harbor than a meditation on impermanence: structures rise, lean, and scatter, yet the atmosphere holds them in a fragile, almost lyrical suspension.
