| Interests | It is the spiritual and ecological connection with natural elements that draw me in to this work and then looking at the complex network of relationships within nature and how they are intertwined. This is why I feel Punjab’s field should reflect this, and not mono culture mindsets which destroy human life and thinking. The work is inspired by Spiritualised vision of Life. A deep sense of compassion towards all creations of nature, all life forms and sense of oneness with nature on one-side and witnessing destruction of nature very much in front of our eyes on other side has moved me to do some thing. I strongly believe that God is present in the entire nature and hurting nature is violence against God. One has to stand against this violence of development destroying nature. Contamination of food and destruction of food legacy of Punjab is another issue of concern for me. |
