About

Sites like the Musi River in Hyderabad—choked with waste, bearing the weight of negligence—become the setting for a post-human vision where non-human entities inherit what we leave behind.

Dindi Praveen Sagar presents a series of works—Earth's Last Stand, Restricted Terrain, and untitled pieces—that interrogate the consequences of capitalism and overconsumption. The Musi River, deteriorating under urbanization and pollution, becomes his dystopian focus.

Through drawings, paintings on canvas, and terracotta sculptures, Dindi frames human activity as destructive. Abstract figures, evocative of alien life or skeletal remains, function as metaphors for environmental reclamation.

What lingers is the question he poses: in the ruins we create, what new life might emerge?
