RESPECT ALL LIFE USHINDI SETH
RESPECT ALL LIFE
USHINDI SETH
This painting was inspired by a story the artist remembers being told
as a child. In the 1960’s a priest came to his village, a kind man
who, like others there, would have need to hunt for food. Just before
taking a shot, he would always pause to kneel down and pray. It was
both an offering of gratitude and also a chance for the deer to escape.
The story told to Ushindi as a young child resonated deeply. The
small act of respect stayed in his heart, shaping his values and
approach to life.
