This pen-on-paper drawing captures the intricate essence of a traditional “Toran”, a sacred architectural pediment common in Newari craftsmanship. At the center is the powerful face of Chhepu, a mythical protector who is shown holding two snakes in his hands. Surrounding him are beautiful, swirling leaf patterns and round symbols at the top that represent protection.

Touch V: Burning Past reflects the quiet fading of memory over time. As I grow older, moments once vivid begin to blur, leaving behind only fragments and sensations. The work captures this slow erosion, not as loss alone, but as transformation, where the past lingers like embers, still present, yet never fully within reach.

Touch V : Burning Past

A fragile, organic core is held within rigid, architectural forms that both sustain and confine it. What begins as structure and support slowly transforms into intrusion, overtaking the very body it was meant to protect. Branch reach outward, hinting at a fading connection to something natural and free. Reflecting on the quiet tension between dependence and control, where survival and loss begin to exist in the same breath.

Decaying Pillars stands as a portrait of support turned fragile, where strength erodes from within long before it collapses outward. What once held weight begins to falter, not from force, but from the slow infection of corruption and concealed rot. Mold spreads like truth denied, creeping to the surface, revealing what was always there but left unseen.

Manjushree stood at the valley’s edge, witnessing the sacred light submerged within Lake Nagdaha. Raising the mighty sword Chandrahas, he struck the southern mountains at Chobhar. The jagged rift released the primordial waters, draining the basin to reveal fertile land, transformed from a silent deep into a cradle for civilization.

The Story of Manjushree

This is a deep emotional connection between two souls from different generations, where their conversation flows naturally and purely, without any pretension or falseness. Just as nature is whole and connects all its creations in harmony, we too are connected by nature. Even though we can physically feel each other’s presence, our emotional bond is even stronger and unshakable, going beyond the physical world around us.

Rasik does not seek to represent the world as it appears, but as it is felt—as it is intuited. His practice is a pursuit of transcendence, an attempt to glimpse what lies beyond the material and visible realms. Through his work, he explores the subtle thresholds where the inner and outer worlds dissolve into one another, where form gives way to presence and silence.

Nothing is truly lost; we simply change form, returning to the great mystery that first imagined us. The universe is experiencing itself, again and again, through us.
