This artwork delves into the intricate tension between urban expansion and rural displacement. Employing layered imagery of cityscapes, agricultural symbols, and archival texts, it underscores the erosion of farming practices and the metamorphosis of land into concrete environments. The fragmented panels mirror the fragmented lives of villagers displaced, traditions diminishing, and ecosystems strained under contemporary development. Pots, plants, and maps serve as metaphors for survival, memory, and resilience amidst urban encroachment. By juxtaposing skyscrapers with farmlands and newsprint with lived realities, the work raises pertinent questions about sustainability, identity, and the trajectory of ecological equilibrium. It invites viewers to contemplate displacement, heritage, and the concomitant costs of progress.
