''My works are about environment, and the impact of humans on it. My research and practice towards River Cauvery and the embedded water of the River Has led me to go deeper into the production of the product. Here my concern is always about the pressure by us to the environment and other living being. Consciously trying to bring awareness and beauty of the places.

I was closely associated with river Isar during my last residency in Munich. The sight of the river flowing inside the city was the most surprising and mind blowing visual.

Experimental Radio founded by Ralf Homann, my curator is a platform towards interdisciplinary art. As my proposed expression of art with the River Isar, its banks and water - I am more interested towards Audio documentary, Sonic strategies along with visuals. Sharing it on Radio in public space and interaction with the all-age group is my motto. Bringing awareness to the audience the sustainability from the Isar also introduction of River Kaveri and its Bank in Munich.''
