This artwork portrays the interplay between human life and the natural world, contrasting a yearning for freedom with the vibrant energy of a tree in full bloom. The 3D textures of the tree and flowers, crafted with bullion and cotton thread, bring this dynamic scene to life.
This artwork depicts two worlds — one where the humans bound to their habitats are yearning to break out and embrace the adjacent moonrise and a sunny roadway. In the next region blooms a tree with majestic flowers surrounded by dancing cloud forms. It depicts the jugalbandi of human life and the world of abundant nature.
To enhance the tree and the flowers, 3D textures are created using bullion and cotton thread. This artwork took 8000 hours of handwork to be completed.
