Pink Solaris - there is no narrative to Jagu's painting but you could easily read into the composition what you like. Peter sees an alien landscape with mysterious swirling gases in the foreground and rising steamy vapours behind a jagged mountain range. What do you see?
When Jagu worked on the Harsh Harmony she was thinking about the contrasts between hard v soft, shade v contrast, rock v Himalayan flower and reflecting on how this applies to everything in life, work, and human relations.
She considers this subject is as a testimony of many instances in her life. For example the beauty and happiness of having a child and soon after the blow of being blind for months. The light and dark of so many trials are mirrored in her painting. The beauty of the final product is in the completeness. Universal truths are captured in colour.
