This artwork reflects Manoj Dutta’s inner landscape during his move from rural Bengal to the city. The lone, wind-blown tree stands resilient amid shifting hues are a symbol of self-amidst transition. The glowing yellow fields recall warmth and simplicity of village life, while the darker patches hint at uncertainties of the unknown. The soft blending of seasons mirrors his emotional shift — nostalgia, hope, and adaptation. Through colour and form, Dutta transforms personal turmoil into quiet strength, painting change as both beautiful and inevitable.
