The interior of a dilapidated house with the silhouette of a figure playing the flute; the form, the use of warmer colors in a rather dismal-looking space, and intensity are the major elements of this composition, while the emergence of a new visual vocabulary can be sensed. For Sanjay, Krishna becomes a re-appearing motif in his several other works, which is a way to look beyond religion. As he very aptly said, "Krishna is a little God that embraces our inner being and he is our ultimate musician." In a certain manner, this piece speaks of the metaphysical force that eternalizes the cycle of life.
