The fragmented space that Debasish Manna creates may be considered as the result of fragmented reality that he confronts around him. Modernity explores reality through fragments. Globalization encourages it to a great extent. Yet through fragments Debasish strives for the inner harmony of life. Extracting beauty out of the darkness is the essence of his creativity.
