N. S. Harsha's fascination with both the very smallest and the very largest of worlds is always deployed in his works with the most remarkable balance. Running through them is a series of opposing principles, such as Mysuru versus the world, or the progress of countries undergoing rapid development and the notion of human labor, as well as a perspective in which the micro is fused with the macro.

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.
