In these works by Samindranath Majumdar, landscapes serve as spaces where the past and future intertwine. Each image—a fractured boat, an ancient tortoise, a house long abandoned—speaks not only of what once was but hints at a future sculpted by the forces of climate change and human apathy. Produced with pyrography, these scenes suggest that the landscapes Majumdar creates are not mere relics of the past but premonitions of what is yet to come.(..)
