"I have a background in painting and photographs are a means to document things which I later use as reference for my paintings. But later I realize some of the photographs go beyond the purpose of documentation, either consciously or unconsciously. It is the same entity, the same soul that my paintings usually have. And I feel it cannot be translated into painting and there is also no need to do so. Being an insider in Rahmaria, the village I was born and brought up in, I have always felt the urge to work in this very place and its people. And finally, in 2017, the project starts in Rahmaria, situated in Upper Assam in the North-Eastern part of India. I am working on the history of the people, place, culture and various changes in society through video, audio, painting, photography, drawing and writing. And these photographs are part of this project."
