Bhopal Gas Tragedy (Convergence of Worlds) Acrylic Figurative Painting

Set against an unnervingly luminous field of blue, this crowded tableau stages grief as a public spectacle and a private burden, where bodies tangle into one another like unresolved testimonies. The composition fractures into opposing currents—on one side a pale, monumental figure shelters a limp child, while around them faces, hands, and placards erupt in jagged rhythms that read as protest, prayer, and accusation at once. Warm reds and ochres pierce the cool ground like sirens, guiding the eye through a dense hierarchy of suffering that feels both contemporary and archetypal, as if the scene is equal parts street and myth. In the accumulation of dislocated limbs, masks, and watchful eyes, the work becomes a meditation on collective trauma—how violence multiplies into images, and how compassion struggles to remain legible amid the noise.
