The Madhuban मधुबन series, is a 9 part series, wherein I propose whimsical landscapes that offer circular realms of hope, positivity, beauty and joy. As a deep-sea diver, the circularity of unending underwater life offers a contemplation on personal and universal existential attempts, of ordering the microcosm of life with the macrocosm of the universe’s life. According to one of my favourite philosophers, the work for each one of us is seeking out what is at the centre of our “sacred circle”, which involves the discipline of pulling all the scattered aspects of life together, focussing on that centre and ordering ourself to it. To embody this notion into my works, I anchored on the central idea of the ‘Madhuban’, which literally translates to a garden of flowers. I use botanical inspiration from Indian miniature paintings, filled with elements that sustain life – the sun, the moon, the stars, divine fruit (i.e. pomegranates), water, brimming with vibrant colours and pattern. From the central idea, to the selection of symbolic elements at the centre of each circular realm, I have attempted to create little Madhuban’s of wellness and wholeness, with effort, labour and love. When all the aspects of wellness (be it spiritual, emotional and relational), are harmoniously integrated, the world and those within it, we flourish.
