Fly Away, Swim Closer

Artist – Sunil Gawde

The work is a manifestation of the insect’s attraction to light, that glows because of the light source outside. This metaphorically reflects our dogma of blindly following the one we perceive to be enlightened. Insects like fireflies that have light within are not attracted to light but those insects that lack such a light are. Humans unknowingly lose their identity just like the insects lose their lives coming in contact with light or heat.
