Well friends as we all know that we should stay in complete isolation and indoors to fight with this nasty contagious virus, wreaking havoc globally. Right now on 29 March 2020 I am sharing my drawings that I created during this sad but extremely necessary nationwide lockdown. In this video you can see the pain and the dilemma faced by our migrant workers from different villages, while trying to return to their homes during this lockdown. They are without food and walked hundreds of kilometers to reach their villages. Some of them faced death too.

Staying home in my studio, I challenge myself to create random accounts of my isolated experiences with fear and loneliness and an uncertain future.
