Cracking the Codes

Growing up as a child must be so difficult!

Right from interpreting reality using basic senses such as sight, sound, smell, taste and touch - to interpreting forms such as numbers, alphabets, colours and shapes - life must be challenging for them every moment.

I think this struggle for identification may be similar to the experience of a lay man viewing an abstract painting. While the elders can easily make 'sense' of scribbled letters or routine sounds - children may feel 'lost' trying to understand and then decipher the meaning of each patterned element around them.

This painting depicts the battle of a two-three year old with her own understanding (of say numbers and alphabets) - shown against the backdrop of a symbolic painting - that has patterns of an abstract painting.
