Catalogue Note
One tends to look at the world through the tinted spectacles of news reports on the massacre of innocents, spectacular highlights of explosions, flux of speakers spewing hatred and the kinds of propaganda campaigns that camouflage truth. It is a strange world exposed and manipulated; one's extended vision that constructs and reshapes the perceptions of the 'present', riddled with endless, eternal questions and a couple of ready-made albeit elusive solutions.
