An abstract, black-and-white view of a city street, with brick buildings and skyscrapers. Outlines of cars blend into each other, with the only color being red brakelights and stoplights. A large stoplight is shown in close-up.

STOP!

Acrylic on canvas

Time seems to have stopped. All we see are glaring red traffic lights and taillights of cars, vans, buses merging into each other. How long have we been here?

Artist Statement

Born and raised in Kolkata, India, PhD in Germany and now, Boston! I have lived almost entirely in cities and wanted to capture its essence: how time simultaneously flows and doesn’t; the sameness, the noise that’s also perhaps silence.
