Description
In this spectacular visual with a human head curved at the back, revealing the organic materials beneath the surface and the text as foreground, the work emerges like a statement. The statement is the artist’s cultural identity and he reveals it to the world holding back no shame or anxiety. In this cosmopolitan world thrived by capitalism, the artist proudly states that he comes from the ground that is actually the basis of the world’s prosperity.Â
The work also challenges the classist, ignorant mentality of the contemporary generation’s disregard for someone coming from a farmer family or a similar class. The work poses questions of socio-cultural identity, inclusion, and social perspective. The bare bones of the portrait show the organic earth, the beloved land of the farmers, which has been one with the artist’s identity. Â
