Thirsty Crow by Rekha Rao — Oil on canvas, 2005
India · 2005

Thirsty Crow

Rekha Rao

Here the artist indirectly approaches the theme of water deprivation via the fable of the thirsty crow who drops stones into a pot he cannot get his beak into in order to raise the water level. The crow head is barely insinuated allowing room for the viewer to investigate the meaning of the title for themselves.
