About the artwork

Using images of textbook pages to symbolize the unbearable pressure of studying that has plagued children of today, the artist displays the child as hidden behind the pages, almost as if he is drowned in them. Camouflage here, then implies the disappearance of a child in his personality, dreams and desires- as a whole, being hidden away under the cascading pressures set on them by today's unbending world.
