Participating in the art shows pushes me to create new art was well as pushes me to look back at the ideas I had during some of my travels.  For example, Kumb Mela, a huge spiritual festival in India where I stayed for a little less than a month had a huge impact on me.  Most interesting thing was that with huge number of people attending the festival there was no trouble and I have not seen police a single time.  Crowds of people were going through temporary temples created in the middle of the desert like area.  It was close to the river through because at a certain time everyone wanted to take a dip in the river.  It is believed that if you do take a dip on a certain precise moment, you will be enlighten.  I took memories of these places with me to the two art shows of this Fall, one in Modern Museum of Russian Art in Jersey City and another was at the Tenri Cultural Institute of New York.  I am very grateful for this opportunity to share my art and talk about these experiences.
