“Inspired by war scenes and JMW Turner’s painting, Whalers 1845, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this painting shows forms like submarines and airplanes that are interconnected with abstract structures, they act as a barrier to restrict the viewers from entering the painting. It focuses on human presence without figuration and conveying dissociation of identity as a ’stranger’ in a foreign land.”
