Anju Dodiya's 'Geometry of Ash' Explores Loss and Hope

Anju Dodiya is an artist who is showing her new paintings in Mumbai.

Her exhibition is called 'The Geometry of Ash'.

In her paintings, she shows scenes of loss and destruction, but also moments of hope.

She uses charcoal and watercolour to create a special colour that looks like ash.

There are big paintings on fabric and smaller drawings on paper.

In her work, she talks about the sadness of cutting down old trees and the small things people do to help, like planting new ones.

She also uses trees in her paintings to show different stories and memories.

She gets ideas from many places, like old paintings, movies, and even fashion magazines.

Her art is about how people deal with big ideas and connect different images.
