Varanasi 2 (Umbrellas in the Sun)

This work stages a precarious theater of geometry, where hard-edged planes collide like architectural thoughts mid-construction, and the eye is pulled along a bright, angular corridor that reads as both passage and rupture. A saturated red form—part banner, part wound—hangs over the cool, blocklike volume, injecting heat and vulnerability into an otherwise rational, engineered space. The deep blues and blacks at the base act like encroaching shadows or converging forces, suggesting that stability is always negotiated against pressure, gravity, and unseen desire. In its crisp outlines and abrupt color shifts, the piece turns abstraction into a psychological map: a moment when order fractures, yet meaning is born precisely in the fracture.
