Geometric forms rise like silent monuments, echoing the superimposition of concrete and nature in Haloi’s composition. These shapes evoke Kolkata’s expanding urban grid pressed against the lingering memories of riverine Bengal. Raw surfaces suggest weathered walls, while subtle planes of blue and earthy ochre emerge to lend depth and warmth. Peeking greens nod to resilient flora carving through the city fabric. The work weaves a visual harmony where man-made order and organic memory quietly coexist, concluding in a delicate reconciliation of architecture, memory, and nature.
