With this artwork I hope to invoke the viewers to question what the cost of a thought really is. Your own thoughts.  Nothing. They’re absolutely free. I wish to convey that one is entitled to think, entitled to voice, and entitled to follow whatever one believes in. Something I feel our society doesn’t imbibe enough, especially in India. After living in London for a month I noticed several stark cultural differences but the one that stood out to me the most was people's fear of speaking openly here. Over the years the Indian society has labelled countless normal topics 'taboos' and so publicly speaking about such taboos is often derided.
