Entering the vortex of turbulence that periodically disrupts the human condition, Arpana Caur holds fast to the well-spring of a timeless regenerative power that permeates and heals our lives. True to the ancient ethos of the Indian environment, her work reflects a firm belief that for every flaming tree, every broken life, for all the contradictions and polarizations of ideologies, death and destruction that erupt around us, there is the subliminal flow of a primordial energy constantly healing our fragmented lives. An underlying humane compassion and love make it all whole again. These life-giving forces reflect the essence of this country’s vision that has historically been inclusive and open.
