In seach of Harmony ~ book exploring harmony in river ecosystems and self
In Search of Laya is a poetic and visual exploration of the rhythm that flows through rivers and the self. Inspired by the Kaveri, Beas, and Tungabhadra, the project captures laya—harmony, surrender, and flow—through drawings and poems. Observing birds, trees, and shifting landscapes, it reveals how each element moves in tune with the river, embodying a shared rhythm. This outer laya reflects an inner search, as the artist explores their own connection to nature’s pulse. Blending ecology and introspection, the work invites viewers to reconnect with rivers—and the quiet harmony within all life.
