I belong to interior village near to the coastal area of Digha. Since my childhood I spend time among the Nuliah Villages. As a result the objects like fishing traps, fishing nets, boats and their lifestyles, their struggles keep inspiring me and sub consciously these affected and enriched my visual interpretation. More later stage these forms appeared to my art practice as reference. While working, these objects appeared to me as biography of those people. These objects are reflecting the struggle of those community. The combination of rhythm, Architectonic linear quality of the objects like Fishing traps, fishing nets to me si very much symbolic of their lifestyle. At the same time there is also some sort of optical illusion within these structural form that inspired me. I have tried to show that intense struggle of these people and the particular identity of these particular area through my work of art.
