Neeraj seamlessly integrates celestial beings into his artwork, with the deliberate angularity of limbs adding a touch of cubist flair. In "Beleaguered Angel," a sculpture of nimble lyricism, the figure assumes a pensive yet disturbed poise.

The sculpture, amid chaos and repulsion, portrays the angel's retreat into a meditative trance, seeking deliverance from darkness and ignorance.
