Maldives 2100


Maldives 2100, 20”x28”, Oil on Canvas: IPCC’s projection of a 60 cm rise in sea level is a reality – and hence, a blazing hot sun; a dhoni asunder; a lone ghastly fisherman; a shark bleeding profusely and drowning; and of course, the proliferation of jellyfish and algae are all a part of everyday life. This is a small experiment I did a year ago. The idea isnt very original as I borrowed heavily from various sources.
