"Quo Vadis?"

"Quo Vadis?"

Acrylic on canvas.

This is my critical response to the indifference of the government to the miseries of the downtrodden subalterns of the society as well as a pointer to the responsibility of Christians fitting the lockdown due to COVID 19.

The insensitive govt believes more in theories than considering the plights of the citizens, especially those who are marginalised. The scattered dear bodies of the migrant labourers made no tears in their eyes or pain in their hearts. The supporters of the government console their pricking consciousness by raising technical questions like 'how can people sleep on a railway track', while many poor families mourned over their loved ones who will never come back.

The presence feet of Jesus, which are seen as walking with the people who are under misery, urge us to do the best to the neighbours, oppose religious, classist, racist, linguistic, and casteist divisions at this time of pandemic and beyond. (The railway track acts as the lower part of the cross). Extend our support to others.

This may be a long description of the painting. But, I hope the painting itself will speak to you better.
