Catalogue Note
"My work tries to weave the past with the present concerns, bringing out the irony of the situation. It’s a commentary on the troubled times we live in against the backdrop of values and principles that we as a nation are so proud of” (Atul Dodiya, The Arts Trust, Online Magazine, online).
