A reflection on nature’s eternal cycle of growth and decay, Verdant Echoes by Ranabir Saha captures the vibrant presence of life alongside the fading traces of what once was. Lush, vivid forms emerge against softer, muted layers, revealing how nature continually transforms, where nothing truly disappears but takes on a new form.

Translated into fine embroidery, silk and cotton threads bring depth and texture to this interplay of presence and memory. Techniques such as Spring Stitch, Challa Stitch, and Salli Gita recreate the richness of the painted surface. Completed over 3,000 hours, the work celebrates nature’s perpetual renewal through the dialogue between colour, texture, and the intricate craft of Indian hand embroidery.
