By working with maps and spaces, Saju creates a mythical, almost fantasy world, that prompts questions of where we are, how we got there, and where will go from here. Movement, collisions, ruffles and stains give meaning to life in Saju’s works. The burn stains in this work particularly, reveals another lived reality beyond their skins and within the underbellies. Staining is an active process that enables our engagement with history. And it is through such engagement that we are able to define distinct geographies – physical as well as cultural, says Anuj Daga in his essay 'Stained Geographies'. His work invites us to live the space between the finished and the incomplete. Saju’s geographies reconcile stains into shades of landscapes that have accumulated meaning over a slow process of history. It gestures to the stained geographies we all eventually come to inhabit.
