The artwork featuring a parasite head on a human body explores themes of identity, control, and the impact of external forces. The parasite head represents invasion and transformation, raising questions about the boundaries between self and other, unconscious mind, disease, addiction, or social pressures. The artwork challenges the viewer to consider the complex relationships between inner and outer selves. 

The guests asked thoughtful and insightful questions specifically regarding the material and the thought process of the artworks. They asked Rachel Panmei, a student of class 12A the reason for using jellyfish as a symbolism in her painting—she replied— “It represents how vulnerability is viewed as something to be taken for granted or taken advantage of by others. However, specifically as women, where our role is viewed as nurturers, we must embrace this vulnerability and find strength in it. After all, jellyfish are deadly though they look soft”. 

One of the most striking installations at the exhibition featured giant masks crafted from scrap test papers — a symbolic reminder of the pressure and identity students often grapple with. Tittled with the thought-provoking belief “It’s not a mask if you wear it right.” The piece explored the many faces people wear in different spaces, reflecting shifting personalities and hidden truths. The artists deliberately left the masks uncoloured, emphasising that true identity goes beyond appearance. A powerful collaborative effort, the installation stood as a raw and honest portrayal of self-expression and expectations. 

Zain Suhail of class XII-A explained the meaning behind his painting ‘Colours of People’ saying, “This painting shows that people have many faces, just like many colours. In good times, they may look kind, but in bad times, their true colours come out—sometimes surprising or even hurting us. I used yellow for cheerfulness, blue for calm, red for love and anger, green for growth or jealousy, black for mystery or hidden feelings, and orange for energy or change. Each colour shows a different mood or personality. This art tells us to look deeper, not just at what we see on the outside but also inside.” 

In the words of Sweta Bag, student of class XI-A, her painting ‘Grace in Motion’ is “a celebration of movement, tradition, and the beauty of the present moment. The bird’s-eye view adds a unique perspective rarely seen in classical Indian art, making this piece stand out for both its creativity and cultural richness. This painting beautifully merges traditional Indian attire with dynamic composition, symbolizing freedom, culture, and feminine joy”. 

Describing her painting ‘Through the Eyes of the Abyss’, Vanshika Rajput of class XII-A said, “Within this dreamlike, surreal painting, the eye is immediately drawn into a realm of spinning eyes and midnight blues. The figure, shadowed and isolated, is confronted by a sea of peering eyes—eyes that observe and devour. This sea of eyes, expressed in layered waves of indigo, sapphire, and charcoal, speaks of vulnerability, of introspection, and of being too closely observed.The painting dissolves the divide between interior and exterior worlds, between that which we are afraid of and that which we would know. Confronting the void, the figure is both subject and spectacle—solitary, yet the object of boundless examination.”
