About the process:
As far as my process is concerned, it is deeply rooted in the thought process and the art-works which I have undergone through the whole of my academic studies and practices.
The process has evolved very silently..... Step by step...... I’m feeling more responsible and centered as being one with the process.
If I’m made to say something about the process, it will be: The very first thing to be understood about this work is...... ‘It is a bundle of concepts.’ ‘It is a multiconceptual representation.’
It is not a single word. It is a sentence ......... a statement having a number of meanings. Sometimes they are contradictory and sometimes complimentary!
It seems dualistic .......sometimes binder. And one goes deeper into it; one sees the phenomenal and integration truth, binding the concepts together and making one profound statement having a universal appeal.
.......here, ‘observer’ becomes the ‘observed’, ‘Objective’ and ‘Subjective’ do not remain separate.
And I believe that the whole vision can be found only when one drops the mind and look into the reality of the things without thinking about them. It is not a question of contemplation, not a question of thinking, not a question of logical thinking.
