Death

 Death I
 Acrylic and Oil on Canvas
 36 in x 36 in
 2015
 This was our third and last project of Contemporary Art Practice called 'From Realistic To Non-
 Representative'. The project consists of series of three works. The work above shown is my first
 work of the project. My all works from this project were based on experiments with new
 technicalities and media. The ideas or concepts I have prepared or enrolled in this project is
 about nature and its rule that we cannot deny. My first work is realistic in appearance. The
 elements included here are the skull, bones and hour glasses. These elements depict the rule of
 nature and time, no matter how hard we try we cannot rule over them. My work's relation with
 these two elements is like this; In case of nature, if we are born then it is sure we will die one
 day and in case of time, we cannot control time or make it follow us but we have no choice of
 following it. Likewise, the main element here is the skull which depicts the death as per the rule
 of nature and time.


Death II
 
Wood, Clay, Plastic Jar and Ash  
Dimension Variable  
2015
 This is the second work and one of the series from the last project. This is one of my favourite  works. This is the work I have experimented with different and unfamiliar mediums than usual  before. I have combined different elements like wood, clay, plastic jar and ash together into one.  This work is wonderful and unique to me as this is my first installation based work ever. This is  This is the second part of the series. The burnt woods, the ashes inside the plastic jar and the  ashes spread on the base of the skull and the skull itself are the major elements of this work.  Here these elements depict the cremation process after death. The work is represented in semi-  realistic forms here. In my view the work stands as the strong expression as it is visually  impacting and delivers a concrete feeling to the viewers.

Death III
 
Acrylic and Oil on Canvas
 36 in x 36 in
 2015
 This is the last work from the series of the last project. The figures and elements here are 
 represented in non-representative forms. The painting is divided into three section, the upper  part with white, the middle part with grey and the lower part with black color. This work is   based on the people's beliefs regarding after-death. Nobody knows what happens after death.  We are unknown about the facts whether our soul will lead towards light or dark. We don't  know where our soul will rest after death. We don't know about mystical facts of our soul  being rested whether in heaven or in hell. The white and black color are respectively the  representation of the light and dark, the heaven and hell. The red color applied here in the  middle part above the grey represents our state of being unknown about that particular facts and  the state of neutrality.
