The world is forever changing, without any exception. Absoluteness is an impossible feat; for even humankind and the life around us have evolved through time. Transformations can occur gradually or abruptly, but it is a process that is constant in our world. As an artist, Jhunjhnuwala believes that they have limited control over the creative events. The paint or pigment performs independently, as they are free to create the final image according to their material qualities. Jhunjhnuwala simply participates and construct conditions to allow nature to take its course, exploring the paradoxical relationship between change and constancy.

The progressive layering of transparent colour allows Jhunjhnuwala to merge abstract space and depth with a sense of spiritual reality. Jhunjhnuwala works are an exploration of mysterious spaces – celestial and divine, untouched and unvisited – allowing the viewer to look beyond familiar spaces and connect with the spiritual. Jhunjhnuwala feels that her combination of colours and tones are suggestive and are therefore more powerful than a direct message.

This painting has memories of the early mornings, when Gossage would go down to check the net and walk across the mud flats to get to the river. These places of her land still remain the same and time has stood still.
