INTRODUCTION

In my works I've tried to represent symbolically the old way of life giving way to the new. Tradition being replaced by modernity and entangled amidst it a section of society unable to reach the high standards of modern life. A city today, is a city transformed into computerized cosmopolitan power house, which spreads it's tentacles over everything in it's wake, seemingly resembling a gigantic parasite, thriving, throbbing and functioning with a life of it's own, with a tendency towards chaos. But right in the heart of this cosmopolitan giant, on it's street, is a different story, of untold abjection afflicting it like a wound inspite of all it's outward boasting of a very glamorous and advanced high tech life. This is a section of society unable to be a part of the modern world, even though they exist right at it, heart. We see poverty stricken slum areas breeding children who are very much aware of the world around them, and who look and dream, that sometime in the future they will be living a life of which they were never a apart of. The vastness of the chasm between these two sections is what I've tried to capture in my etchings.
