Beautifully, Protected. (Triptych)

The Chhepu (Kirtimukha) in the painting represents the Toran (Tympanum) found around Kathmandu Valley and other parts of Nepal. The painting refers to the issue of conservation of heritage where intended to decorate and protect them, the concerned body applied layers of Enamel as a paint to the struts, pillars, tympanum, and other parts of the architecture/images. The Enamel tends to sit on the surface of those images, engulfing all the details of the images. Also, the layer of Enamel on those surfaces, especially wood, is impossible to undo, ironically destroying them.
