Here Manoj Dutta expresses his quiet dialogue with nature as a living memory. The Nagalingam tree, sacred to Lord Shiva, symbolizes life’s fleeting beauty and spiritual presence in everyday spaces. The hand near the flower suggests an intimate gesture of complete devotion and the moment of touch or remembrance. The faded face dissolves into the background like forgotten stories of rural life. Dutta’s works hold this gentle energy where nature, memory, and human presence meet in fragile, contemplative harmony.
