Title : The Umbrella

Medium : Oil on Canvas⁠

Description:⁠ If you have lived in a tropical country, the umbrella is one of the most undervalued item which most of us overlook and under appreciate in our lifestyles. If anything,it is the tool to hold immense roles—shelter you from our absent but torrential rains, makeshift fortress against the angry heat as well as a reliable weapon against eave-teasers,because,it is still a problem these days.My personal favourite use of umbrella, especially off late is that it commands and implements social distancing at the click of the button.This painting is a reminiscent of my short refuge under a bus stop because I was that person who forgot my umbrella on a rainy day. Against the nagging windy blues of the rains, I was envious of the kaleidoscopic canopies sheltering the lucky ones to go about their days. Unlike me, these lucky ones need not have to cancel engagements due to bad weather, or be stupidly late for a meeting soaked from head to toe. That day when I got home, I picked the most colourful umbrella from my mom’s collection and hoped that when there was a need for it, mine would stand out in the crowds of umbrellas for an onlooker like me, that day.

I wish I had a quirky story symbolising an umbrella with relationships like that famous song but honestly, there is no better demonstration of an automatic social distancing unfolding with a simple swift of the umbrella despite rain or shine.
