“Going Away” and “Son et Lumière” are two of the nine painted scrolls that make up the work “Each night put Kashmir in your dreams”. Each scroll is a tapestry of stories that constructs the many histories of Kashmir. Together, the scrolls weave the artist’s complex personal take on the history of Kashmir, with fragments of medieval, historical, religious, mythical and fictional accounts.
