Being, Society, and the issues related to them, have always been Prathap’s primary concerns.
Prathap’s work, the subject of desire manifests itself and constantly reappears in various contexts.
He doesn’t consider himself a preacher nor a teacher. As an artist, through his work, he tries to show what he personally thinks and feels.
He tries to evokes the need to revolutionize and bring about a change in the thought and life of the spectator.
His work reveals several human-social phenomena visualized through his observations, and a proposition toward the people as in “We will be together” which shows the importance of peace. The worthless greed, corruption, and excessive power are so uncontrollably overwhelming our nature that we should succumb to them, losing ourselves in them.
But we shouldn’t forget the importance of the togetherness, and of the humanity which the former can bring us. Beyond the different sexes, castes, religions, countries or boundaries, people are simply human beings. One was, and is, like the another, not immune, untouched, or unaffected, but enough strong to care itself and the another. There is the need for us to be together again, being strongly pure, not only on the photographs nor virtually, but for real, between each other, as we used to be in our ancestral time.
‘I am alone, But I am with nature’ question why people feel alone even though they may live surrounded by others. They examine how we feel and act while alone and the discovery that the natural environment can hold the key to understanding, healing and gaining empowerment from this state of being.
‘I am Listening’ Series proceed me to being with nature and found an unbreakable relation of all life around, listening to intuitions of how integrated and interdependent life is on our planet.
‘Silence. Space. Terrestrial’ series question the unknown, perception of life’s beauty, music and landscapes. Journey of Self beyond compulsiveness of immediate outside world. ‘Terrestrial Water Bodies’ as extension of the series imagine the perceive landscapes mainly Water Bodies float in space magnify our experience of Life as being (to be).
‘Floating balconies’, adorned with various animals, birds, and trees, traverse the expanses of space, occasionally accompanied by floating bodies of water adorned with fountains and flowers. In this series of works, I primarily aim to depict nature traversing different dimensions, exploring the realm of imaginary floating architecture and arches in space.
Behind the idea of creating floating balconies lies a profound concern for the ongoing changes on Earth's surface. Many lakes are drying up, rivers are being polluted with harmful chemicals, and the accessibility of clean water for human beings is becoming increasingly difficult. What if we could rescue some animals, trees, and birds from the clutches of humanity's destruction by allowing them to float away from Earth? Nature itself does not pose a threat to humans; it is humans who continuously wreak havoc upon the natural world.
