The light of acknowledgement
Actions – yours and mine shape our identity.
Often given, imposed, but also acquired;
in a democratic, republican state, how, who, and what decides the value of an individual citizen is a gloomy thought. Rajesh Pullarwar a believer in a just state empowered by its constitution contemplates what identity means? He asks whether the sun shines differently upon each one of us? This exhibition is his artistic investigation into a fundament of creation and loss of identity ‘from and to ambiguity’ across the binaries of rich and poor, empowered or enslaved, awakened or ignorant. He finds that identity is not by mere chance but a decision- collective and personal.
Through his lived social interactions in a state, Rajesh uses his creative tools, inventing a visual idea for an inquiry into – thy self and the collective – toward what we are heading to. The exhibition invites you (viewer) in examining the values we live with and live for through the artist’s shared concerns.
