Comfort Zone

Ankur Singla's surrealist masterpiece, "My Comfort Zone," delves into the intricate web of desires and constraints. Within a pink and red-walled washroom, surrealism blooms as a mirror takes on the guise of a window, projecting vivid blue skies and drifting clouds into this confined space.

A white mountain goat, sporting a heart-shaped locket and blue pyjamas, becomes the focal point, comfortably seated amidst green tiled floors. The goat's intent gaze fixates on the washbasin-adorned wall, surrounded by peculiar cabinets housing symbolic entities—a flowing elephant trunk, a rooster donning a party hat, and a horizontally placed Statue of Liberty clutching a torch.

Intricately woven imagery unfolds: a road leading to packed briefcases and an umbrella, a black-pyjama-clad tiger's departure, and the surreal amalgamation of a bath area embellished with shampoo bottles and vibrant toilet rolls. The goat embodies the artist's stubbornness, juxtaposed against desires represented by the yearning for freedom symbolized by the floating clouds, the Statue of Liberty, the rooster, and the elephant.
