Many artists and poets identify themselves with creatures — Tanmoy identify myself with birds, so the images of birds keep recurring in his work. Our mythologies, fairy tales and songs are full of birds as a metaphor for all immaterial things. This simple yet immensely variable creature can beautifully hold the universal dualities such as — familiar and strange, presence and absence, macabre and fantastic, moment and eternity. 

The birds in this work titled "Messengers" are floating in an unidentified space. They are anxious and alert in their posture by a sense of danger brewing and lurking silently in the dark of the night. As one of the most sensitive creatures, are these shadowy birds actually messengers of nature telling us the precariousness of changing environment?
