TELL US ABOUT YOUR LATEST PRODUCT COLLECTION . WHAT WAS THE CONCEPT BEHIND IT ’ S INCEPTION ?
AANSHIKI : While appearing to be of diverging streams of thought , “ This Way to Truth ”, “ Druk Yul ” and “ Master Plan ” have a subtle undertow to them , binding them together into a bigger picture and an overarching narrative on human transformation .
TELL US ABOUT YOUR CONCEPT FOR EACH OF THESE SPECIAL ART PRODUCTS .
AANSHIKI : From the collection ‘ Reflection ’, ‘ Druk Yul ’ represents the world which is both dominated and at the same time protected by man . With the serpentine figure placed at a supreme position , it ’ s questionable whether the land is protected by it or is rather at the mercy of the same .
An engagement around a “ familiar ” path for the mind , ‘ This Way to Truth ’ is one of the highlight pieces from the collection – ‘ UnFamiliar Roads ’. While truth is often in a straight line , right in front , the mind has a tendency to take detours , traverse a topsy-turvy path and elongate the journey as much as possible . Almost like it ’ s taking a shot at stumbling upon an alternate truth .
Lastly , we have – The Master Plan . From the collection ‘ Corollary ’. It is an exploration of the obvious proposition that follow from one that has already been proved .
In conjunction , the three pieces create an anthology on the cycle of transformation .
