This artwork highlights the silent conflict between sustainable tradition and modern environmental hazards. The plastic winnowing fan (kula), though vibrant in color, represents a threat to our ecosystem and is symbolically trapped under a net to signify its harmful impact. In contrast, the traditional bamboo winnowing fan stands open and proud, representing our eco-friendly roots and cultural heritage. The painting is a call to discard toxic convenience and return to the sustainable practices that protect our earth.

Meet the Artist - Atish Kundu
Atish Kundu draws from village life where nets are part of daily experience. In his work, nets move beyond utility to become symbols of protection and control, reflecting the layered relationship between society and nature. Through watercolor wash, gouache, and mixed media, he explores this duality and the tension it creates. His paintings invite viewers to look through the gaps and reconsider the connections that bind human life and environment.
