I am here and not here
I am everywhere and nowhere 
I am the eternal nobody, A soul is who I am 

 

Life is a finite journey, yet the soul transcends boundaries of time and space. Each soul enters this world through the miracle of birth, embarks on a unique life journey, and eventually transitions onward through the passage of death. It is an immutable cycle that defines the essence of existence. Despite their apparent disparity, these two fundamental life events share profound similarities. Both birth and death not only impact the individual soul but also leave an indelible imprint on those in its sphere of influence.

In their collaborative creation titled "AnMa," Kassiyet and Nitya offer a profound exploration of this cyclic experience, drawing from their personal encounters with loss and new beginnings. Inspired by the departure of Kassiyet's mother and the arrival of Nitya's daughter, Trayee, this piece serves as a poignant tribute to the intricate interplay of life and its inevitable transitions. Through their artistry, Kassiyet and Nitya pay homage to the enduring bonds of love and the eternal journey of the soul.
