Unique

Every individual is unique, and it is this uniqueness that makes them so special. But so often, we get distracted by the noise that surrounds us, losing our individuality - that very thing that sets up apart. We need to focus on ourselves and not on "what people say". The noise in the background doesn't matter - it is chatter. What matters is being true to ourselves, and embracing our uniqueness.

This artwork is part of the Maati series by Ashu Gupta, where she depicts human emotions while highlighting the humble ‘matki’ (earthen pots made of maati or mud), as the hero. Humans and the matki, both eventually return to Mother Earth at the end of their lives. Drawing parallels between ‘us’ and the matki, the artist has portrayed different facets of human life in this series of artworks.
