About the Artwork:
"Broken Relation - Toota Sumbandh" is a haunting 15x22 inch gouache meditation created on March 15, 1987, that gives form to emotional rupture. The artist manipulates gouache's typically vibrant nature to create a drained palette of ashen blues and bruised purples, with deliberate cracks in the pigment mirroring psychological fractures. Two abstracted figures drift apart in the composition, their connection reduced to a few clinging threads of crimson that strain then snap. The substantial 22-inch width amplifies the emptiness between them, while gouache's matte finish absorbs light like sorrow absorbs joy. This 1987 creation transforms the medium's usual opacity into a vehicle for transparency - allowing layers of grief and memory to show through each subsequent wash.

Why It's Perfect for You:
This emotionally profound 1987 gouache offers catharsis within its substantial 15x22 inch format. The March creation date - typically associated with renewal - adds poignant contrast to its themes of irrevocable change. Gouache's ability to be both assertive and delicate perfectly mirrors relationship dynamics, where what appears solid can prove fragile. For collectors of psychological art, those processing loss, or spaces dedicated to emotional authenticity, "Broken Relation - Toota Sumbandh" serves as both artistic statement and mirror to human experience. The thin 0.01" paper has been carefully preserved, maintaining the work's raw vulnerability while the medium's archival quality ensures this powerful expression of heartbreak remains intact for thoughtful viewers.
