Here I have depicted these characters who have returned to their own cities, villages and homes by walking on the roadways, railways and also by the cycles from miles and miles from Delhi, Maharashtra, Kolkata, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarpradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Tamilnadu, Andhrapradesh etc due to the closing of their workplace of industries, factories for a serious Covid-19 pandemic period. They are struggling to walk about 1700 km to reach their destinations, they have faced so many problems to food, sometimes they stayed without food by hungry with their small kids. I have depicted also maps for the show of struggle for traveling within the country. Here I step to depict their emotions and feelings in my work.

I am from a village where art is a profession for all. My works are inspired from Indian miniature, Odisha's Pata Painting, Palm leaf painting. In Odisha where nature is abundant contrary to this metro city I witnessed many transitions and changes. Moreover, feeling of rootlessness and strive to be rooted to reconstruct my own space I try and co-exit with the nature and diverse culture which most people have in this city. I take these experiences as my inspiration and use those ideas in my work, where I try to learn and built a new language of Art. A language in which our life and time could reflect precicely. I am trying to explore market place, travellers of railway, road ways transitions, shopping mall, sunday market etc to broden my horizons.

Pollution is the top problem of the society, this is due to migration. People change their place for education, employment, mobility, housing, and persecution. This is why pollution is also seen with the population at certain places. In this work I have depicted Fly over bridges are being built in the current cities with crowds and traffic congestion. It's impossible to live in a city, and people are returning to their cities. " In this work I depicted those people who are not able stay in the city with a good lifestyle, and they failed to establish by income, education, living style etc. And finally one day they have to return to their own home land by pressure of political, social etc. Moreover Migration is a way to move from one place to another in order to live and work. Movement of people from their home to another city, state or country for a job, shelter or some other reasons is called migration. Migration from rural areas to urban areas has increased in past few years in India.
