Description: In this stark monochromatic work, Kalra confronts mortality through a powerful skull rendering that merges expressive mark-making with psychological depth. The intense, scratched linework creates a haunting tension between presence and absence. Eyes that retain a spark of consciousness peer from hollow sockets, suggesting the thin boundary between life and death. This contemplative piece invites viewers to consider their own impermanence while finding strange beauty in the universal truth of mortality.
