Jitish Kallat’s meditative work titled 'Wind Study (Chloroglobin)' begins with a delicate drawing that seems suspended on paper. The configuration of green and red lines appear animated, their colours subtly evoking life energies, flora and fauna, vital fluids and chlorophyll. The Wind Study becomes a device to read the complex forces of nature that inhabit the space and time of the artwork.

On completing the drawing, the lines are overlaid, one line at a time with an inflammable liquid and set aflame. Appearing like a sacred ritual in the studio backyard, the lines undergo phase transition- from liquid to semisolid to fire, and to fumes that record for posterity the movement of the wind at that moment. The drawing becomes a register of invisible atmospheric flows. Kallat describes the Wind Studies as attempts “to eavesdrop on a silent conversation between wind and fire, like transcripts of an elemental dialogue.”
