DURBAR IV

Durbar IV leans most strongly into surrealism within the collection. Two elaborately dressed figures stand against a vertical wash of grey and white, their vibrant attire glowing as if lit from within. Feathers, beads, and layered textiles appear almost weightless, drifting between realism and dream.

The figures feel suspended in a liminal space — part ceremony, part vision — as though the durbar is unfolding simultaneously in the physical world and in ancestral memory. The result is a work that honours tradition while embracing the imaginative freedom of contemporary watercolour.
