Sri Lankan Artist's Kolkata Exhibition Explores Trauma

Imagine an artist who uses flowers and other things to talk about tough times.

This artist, Pushpakanthan Pakkiyarajah, grew up in a place where there was a lot of fighting and hurt.

His art shows how people can heal and remember the past.

He uses flowers because they are beautiful and don't care about race or color.

His art includes drawings, sculptures, and videos.

It talks about the hard things that happened in Sri Lanka, like war and problems with the environment.

The artist hopes his work helps people understand and feel better about these difficult experiences.

The exhibition is in Kolkata and it's a chance to see his art and think about these important ideas.
