This work presents coal as a metaphor for my homeland and the lives shaped around it. The monumental coal form symbolizes the coalfield region and its people. Small figures reflect daily labor and survival. The fabric beneath suggests workers’ burden, resilience, and strength rooted in community life.

Meet the Artist - Arojit Bouri
Arojit Bouri’s practice is shaped by his lived experiences in Asansol and the Raniganj coalfield region. Coal, central to daily life in mining zones, becomes both subject and material in his work. Using coal dust, glue, and Plaster of Paris in mixed media, he builds textured surfaces that reflect the harsh landscape. His practice connects personal memory with collective experience, transforming coalfield realities into layered visual narratives.
