Through our art, we can express our trauma, as well as we can forget our agony. I created this particular piece during the lockdown, when we were all stuck in one place with nowhere to go or nothing to do. 

The central theme of this piece is freedom of speech; without sharing our thoughts, we feel stuck and suffocated. Humans are social animals; we like to communicate and love to connect; disconnection makes us vulnerable. For artists, art is a language of communication, the way words soothe us; art heals both the artist and the viewers.
