Rhythms Beyond a Form

Where the unseen becomes visible, and the visible transforms into a song.

Where sound becomes colour and silence glows,

from the city’s restless pulse to the river’s quiet flow—

each mosaic listens to the eternal rhythm of being.

There have been many moments in my life where I have experienced a subtle, yet thriving energy that fills the environment.  An energy that is alive with collective human emotions or strife, with shared passions or creativity, the kind that rises when several hearts move in unspoken harmony. 

I fondly recall my childhood visits to the old bazaars of Aminabad in Lucknow with my father. Standing in front of Sahu’s chaat corner, and eating delicious golgappas in pattals, is a distinct memory. While I joyously recall the delicious street food, the over-riding memory is of the vibrant atmosphere of the bazaar.

The atmosphere was always surrounded by a bustling energy, the hum that arose from many small actions happening all at once: footsteps weaving in different directions, the incessant shouting of vendors vying to sell their produce, voices bargaining and laughing, the heat, the scents of spices and street food. It represented the choreography of human strife. What makes this energy unforgettable is its aliveness. It reflects the desires, urgencies, and joys of countless individuals intersecting in a shared space. This energy carries both momentum and emotion. 

Rhythms Beyond a Form series captures this restless pulse of life - each mosaic is a personal conversation with the energies that surround me. Through these mosaics, I have endeavoured to transform life’s energy, emotions and movement into bold colours and form - making unseen energies into a tangible form, a living rhythm.
