These paintings show my memories and the cultural traditions that have shaped who I am. They show the jatras and rituals I used to enjoy. But after the earthquake, many things changed, like the places, the people, and the way these events happened. I still feel strongly connected to these traditions, but I can't experience them the same way I used to. Through these pieces of art, I try to keep those memories alive and contemplate how the emotional distance has grown over time. The works are a way for me to keep the cultural spirit that still shapes how I feel about myself and where I belong.
