'Fragments'... as simplified in the most basic sense, the terminology refers to 'an isolated or broken part of something', bringing in light the central theme and salient features of this heterogeneous 'Piece of Art' consisting of 14 dissimilar 'Pieces'. 

The Collection of Works, dated December 2015, exhibits a unique blend of 'Mix-Media' and Acrylics on Canvas. Inspired from the Creative Productions of various Mater-Artists such as M.F Hussain, S.H Raza, Ram Kumar, F.N Souza & Sohan Qadri, each Oeuvre is exquisitely painted, deriving certain elements and styles of painting from the Masterpieces of Artistry. Being absolutely distinct from one another, each of them is embellished with two kinds of Mix-Media(i.e. buttons and pins),in order to amalgamate the entire set into one 'Piece of Art'. The inclusion of Mix-Media, being a result of an extremely reflective thought, establishes a 'Uniting Force' which strengthens the Bond of Integration among all 14 Works. 

It was a Sense of Inspiration that made me travel through such a creative journey full of exploring, thinking and gathering new ideas which I had never predicted would lead to the formation of such a deep message out of buttons and pins (!) It was this urge of inventiveness which ultimately unified the distinctive Fragments of various 'Masterpieces'.

The Practice Of Hostage Taking

OUR TRIBUTE TO THOSE WE HAVE LOST MAY THEY REST IN PEACE THE PRACTICE OF HOSTAGE TAKING BY JESSICA ARORA The practice of taking hostages is very ancient, going as far back as Ancient Rome.  The Romans were accustomed to take the sons of tributary princes and educate them at Rome, thus holding a security for the continued loyalty of the conquered nation and also instilling a possible future ruler with the same ideas as the already existing Roman rulers. This method also ensured that the people of the conquered nation would not riot. In 1972, the entire world was shocked when the practice of hostage-taking came into the public eye, in "Operation Iqrit and Bikram," a term given by the Black September (a Palestinian group) after two Palestinian Christian villages whose inhabitants were expelled by the Haganah (Israel Defense Force) in 1948.
