Artist Name : Anaistah Dabee
Concept Note : As humans, we are no strangers to delusion. We have all indulged in fanciful notions, particularly when it comes to our own selves. Perhaps some words have seeped into our souls, playing on a loop in our minds, or maybe our eyes have been blinded to certain truths cloistered away from new perceptions. In the face of this discord, we may have even crafted new ways of coping, a dance with the ephemeral and the exquisite chaos of existence.

Concept Note : The art of work depicts the psychology of slaves embodied in a mind full of pain, terror and torture. It reflects the need of freedom enclosed in close mind and at same time submission. At one point, dignity surfaced with red lines and in each segment the psychology evolved to the need of freedom. Each triangular segment depicts the evolution from slavery to freedom and how the need to shout out bloomed.
