Ganges and Taj Mahal

This work merges two of India's most charged symbols: the Ganges River and the Taj Mahal. Layers of boats, advertisements, stairs, and figures overlap in chaotic yet intimate density, reflecting the coexistence of sacredness and survival. The iconic dome of the Taj Mahal now radiates softly from within, like a memory suspended above a crowded present. Here, the monumental and the everyday collide—royal marble architecture and crumbling riverside walls, the affluent and the impoverished, eternity and decay. The composition suggests that these contradictions do not cancel each other out, but instead define the texture of lived experience.
