A series which I have been working on recently during the Covid 19 Novel Corona Virus pandemic in lockdown days after having visited and been a witness to the magnetic ,mysterious,beautiful and exotic beauty of the landscape of Sundarbans, it’s quiet and sombre Misty mornings when the landscape becomes an abstract painting of mist and marshland and as the sun rises ,the hues change to different shades of green and yellow of the forests with the sudden glimpse of the colourful Kingfisher and the pristine Egret , golden deers , grey white crocodile brings the magic alive.. Ofcourse the view of the Tiger is a rare.
But that was yesterday and today the devastation caused by the super cyclone Amphan has turned the landscape into a heap of destruction.I have no doubt that nature has a way to heal itself but the process to rebuilding the habitation in the parts is going to be a huge challenge since the people of the area having survived the cyclone Alia had barely gotten back to their feet .
This series is now a memory of the time before Amphan spread its fangs .
I pray for Bengal.
