Punarapi Jananam Punarapi Maranam (Again Birth, Again Death), the largest work in this exhibition, is a masterpiece measuring more than 24 meters in length. Viewing the entire work from a distance, the painting takes on the appearance of a single, huge brushstroke. Turning one's attention to the finer details, however, the brushstroke starts to reveal a vast number of stars. For a brief moment, our consciousness is ushered into outer space, spurring our thoughts towards the entirety of the universe, and the endless cycle of death and rebirth.
