Concentration #10: Abu Jan

This past Wednesday my Abu Jan (means beloved father in Urdu), Air Marshal Sultan Dutta, passed away. I wanted to dedicate this piece to him by using plants: palm trees, petunias, motia/ white jasmine from his garden, one of his pride and joys, to depict him.  In addition, I curved the palm trees to create a focus on my grandfather and the shape the palm trees took resembles the air force awards.  My grandfather was an incredible human being, and I hope to portray the lively presence he had. He is wearing white because according to Islam, white is a pure majestic color.
