From The Early Practice
Works such as I Wanna Give Birth to Dolphin, Paschchaavastha, Utkranti, and The New Creator became visual experiments around these questions. They did not attempt to illustrate biology literally. Instead, biological ideas became metaphors through which I could think about creation, evolution,
identity, time, and the human desire to understand—and sometimes control—life
My earlier practice was concerned with questions such as:
“Can we create life?”
“Can we redesign nature?”
“Where does the natural end and the artificial begin?”
“What happens when humans become creators?”
These questions remain part of my thinking. But my practice has gradually moved from the dramatic confrontation of human versus nature toward a more intimate recognition of human within nature.
From Representation to Recognition
The movement in my practice is not away from science, but deeper into it—from observing life from the outside to sensing the systems that connect us from within. Biology becomes less an image to depict and more a language through which to think about memory, inheritance, interdependence, evolution,
and existence.
This shift forms the foundation of my ongoing BIOME practice: an evolving dialogue between art, science, and philosophy, where the human is not placed outside nature, but understood as one part of a much larger living continuum.
