Artist Statement:
The hot bellowing season of abundance, of mangoes piling in heaps on the streets, bees buzzing in a festive delirium, jasmine perfuming the nights sparkling with fireflies, constellations humming over an orchestra of frogs and crickets.
This is a small recollection of memories sewn together of many such summers spent with my family, until the longest summer day in 2003, when the nest of my home was devastated in the violent wake of my father taken from us.
While this tragedy numbed and froze me, the collective procession of life kept flowing, cicadas held the day, weaver birds embroidered it with their flights and spiders knit another night in the company of wise owls. I have held close summer’s promise of thriving, this fierce hope that thaws cold forgotten corners and blossoms forth from cracks, brings bird song to ruins, fills empty voids with thickets and thus continues the dance of life and death, chaotically, rampantly, profusely. – Japneet Kaur
