A flock of flamingos flies south in search of food and drink. What they find in the water causes a hullabaloo… They get draped and decked in unspooled tape, rubber tyres, shoes, plastic bags, syringe-needles, even rear-view mirrors!

Real objects imaginatively placed together with her drawings create a lifelike three-dimensional effect. Along with Devashish Makhija’s brilliant verse soaked in satire, they paint a telling picture – of the violence unthinking humans inflict on the natural world through hazardous waste.

सोचती हूँ भाषाओं का काम क्या है? किसी को आवाज़ दो तो वह पलट कर देखता है और मुस्कुराता है। बस इतनी-सी बात है। जिनकी भाषा हम नहीं जानते हैं उन्हें अपनी भाषा में बात करते देखते हैं और खुश होते हैं तो उनका अपनी भाषा पर यक़ीन बढ़ता है। अभाव, बीमारी, ग़रीबी, दुख के भी साधारण लोगों ने अपने जीवन में थोड़ा थोड़ा प्रेम, थोड़ी थोड़ी आत्मीयता और मनुष्यता बचाकर रखी है। उन्हें देखते हुए सोचती हूँ की धरती में प्रेम सबसे ताकतवर मूल्य है।
