"Needing: A Journey of Desires and Dreams" Crossing River on Reed: Sometimes, all we need is the courage to take that first step towards our dreams, even if it means crossing treacherous waters on a fragile reed. Wanted a wife (chromolitho): In a world where companionship is cherished, sometimes all we need is someone who understands us deeply and stands by our side through thick and thin. Two Minds With But A Single Thought (colour litho): When two souls connect so profoundly that their thoughts align effortlessly, they realize the power of unity in fulfilling their needs and aspirations. CROSSING RIVER ON CLOUD: Imagining the unimaginable; sometimes what we truly need lies beyond conventional boundaries – like crossing rivers not on foot but on clouds. Young waif posing for an artist has no knowledge of lunch: Amidst life's struggles, basic needs can be forgotten or overlooked; this poignant image reminds us to address both physical hunger and emotional nourishment. Schoolboy asks other to play cricket with adult terminology: Yearning for growth and challenge, sometimes what we need is to break free from limitations imposed upon us by age or societal expectations. A lady's need (or not. ) for a man: Challenging stereotypes about dependency or independence, this artwork explores how women define their own needs in relationships – whether they require a partner or thrive independently. The Wapping Concert: Music has the incredible ability to fulfill our deepest emotional needs; it transcends language barriers and unites diverse souls under one harmonious melody. WW1 Steam Roller: During times of conflict, societies often prioritize immediate survival over individual desires; yet amidst chaos emerges resilience as people adapt to new realities while still yearning for stability and peace.
