When Nature is the Escape.

Pain changes people. Some become rude. Some become silent. 

Through my art journey, I have encountered a lot of souls who have been suffering and carrying grudges. Happenings in life give us the opportunity to embrace our strength to fulfil our lifetime. Many a time people cannot do this step, eventually impacts their mental health. I have been working with the group “Art for a Cause- Mauritius”, on several projects and found that how mental illness is a priority in one’s life.

The artwork, “When Nature is the Escape”, communicates this recurrent topic; depression and mental illness. I have found that to soothe and heal oneself, the mind, soul, and heart should be in the proper environment, and that could be our green environment. After lockdown, many of us have been found to revalue and reconnect with nature. Our green surrounding has always been the spot for mental stability and self-discovery. This is an artwork not like the others, it is done on the back of the canvas representing the inner identity and the fear to speak what our thoughts are.
