Banaras In Gray (Banaras in Grey)

The work stages a seaside town as a fragmented memory—domes, facades, and boats held together by nervous black linework that feels like both map and scar, binding the scene with restless circuitry. Blocks of mint, pink, and turquoise puncture the prevailing greys, turning light into an emotional register: brief tenderness and playfulness surfacing through an atmosphere of distance and hush. Space collapses into overlapping planes, as if perspective were unreliable, suggesting a place remembered more than observed—where leisure and unease coexist in the same shoreline breath.
