The aftermaths of urbanization, like sewage, froth, foam, and chemicals; ostensibly catastrophic signs as the unanticipated byproducts of progress. They proliferate like the multi-headed serpent, inflating and devouring the cityscape. I endeavor to employ metaphors, such as the image of termite hills overtaken by serpents, the dry lands with the vicious serpent invoking a sense of toxi-city. This narrative evolves into parched expanses resembling drainage, personifying ecological issues and corruption through the gigantic black serpent figure; recollecting the figure of Kaalinga (Kaaliya). Here kalinga (Kaliya) is figured as a process of change , transforming from seed to bud to bloom. The froth that forms on the water and sky creates a sense of liminal space. Within this liminal space, the city begins to look unreal, fantasy-like. However in contrast, the city becomes firmly grounded in material reality and lived experiences.
