Botanica unfurls like a surreal collage of hidden intelligence—where bulbous corals echo renewal, spiraling fronds mark forgotten cycles, and jewel-toned creatures slip through petalled thresholds. Monkeys emerge from shell-like vines with a gaze that remembers and questions. Moons drift overhead, anchoring the sky to soil, an instinct to dream. Nandan Purkayastha’s intricate layering and pen‑and‑ink precision conjure a world alive with mythic logic. Nature here speaks in riddles—beckoning you into wonder, and into the deeper stories you already carry.
