Atlas of Impermanence

These watercolours evoke a quiet meditation on nature’s enduring power and the impermanence of human constructs. In each composition, organic forms, reflective surfaces, and architectural elements intertwine in a delicate balance, suggesting the persistent dialogue between human civilization and the natural environment. Through careful layering of color and keen observation, the ghats, carpets, roots, and water surfaces are depicted not merely as scenes, but as living witnesses to time’s slow reclamation.

Underlying each piece is a subtle but urgent ecological concern: amidst the geometric precision of man-made structures and the patterned regularity of modernity, nature’s organic lines persistently reassert themselves. The works envision a world where the boundaries between built and natural, present and forgotten, are blurred—a reminder that no matter how dominant humankind may appear, the earth’s cycles of renewal and decay continue unceasingly. Nature, resilient and patient, is an ever-present force, quietly awaiting its resurgence.

Through these watercolours, the viewer is invited to reflect on the ephemerality of human achievements and the inevitability that, given time, every monument to civilization will be softened, engulfed, or transformed by the elemental processes of the natural world. This perspective calls for humility and stewardship—urging a shift in consciousness from human centrality to deep ecological awareness, where art becomes both an elegy for what is passing and a celebration of nature’s ultimate sovereignty.
