I am  waiting …

At the edge of Cayuga lake …

you do not know much …

I neither do not know !

But I know one thing , than anything …

That I am waiting …

At the edge of Cayuga lake…

From  last winter …

Even in the spring

I dressed up myself

With tender buds of flowers

With sweetest fragrance …

Though You do not know much …

Neither I do not know !

But I know one thing , than anything …

That I am waiting …

At the edge of Cayuga lake …

In the summer

I dressed up myself

With lust green …

Though you do not know much

Neither I do not know !

But I know one thing ,  than anything …

That I am waiting …

At the edge of Cayuga lake …

With your tender kiss

I will blush up …

At the end of summer

I will dresse up myself

With  crimson red  and gold …

Though you do not know much

Neither I do not know !

But I know one thing, than anything

That I am waiting …

At the edge of Cayuga lake …

In  the autumn

I will Laydown  on  earth …

if you hold me … I will close my eyes …

Though you do not know much …

Dear Piotr, this is for you , with love … Waruni

Look at Me

A Portrait is a representation of a frozen moment of human emotions and feelings that are situated in a particular time and space. Also, it is embedded in a particular social and cultural context. Hence, each portrait has a story to be told and also leaves an element of a story untold. We will never know the untold story behind the emotions or feelings of the person in the portrait, yet, each portrait will add depth to our humanity.

The exhibition Look at Me is an invitation to read the untold story of a group of people who live in a marginalized community in Sri Lanka. All the men, women and children who are in the portraits in their beautiful dresses were waiting to pay homage to their goddess Pattini. This is the moment they regain their agency and authority through the process of worship. In the ritual parade, the marginalized community becomes the centre of the attention for a small time. That moment helps them to forget the challenges of their daily lives. But what happens after the ritual…
