Shiva, an audio installation artist visits the largest coal mines of Eastern India – plagued by depleting natural resources and a burning fire in its belly. However, he succumbs to the highly complex socio-political system and moves to a tribal village in the forest. There, he questions his urban view and fundamental notion of self. Water, as an element, forms the labyrinth of his quest for truth.
I wanted my protagonist, Shiva, to engage with a system that has plundered natural resources for years. I wanted the façade of his carefully woven urban identity to rupture as he acquaints himself with the tribal way of living.
