UN@80: An Indian ceramicist's vision for 'Land Protection'

For the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations (UN), Indian ceramicist Priya Sundaravalli Sudharsan from the international town of Auroville champions the theme of 'Land Protection.' She believes that art is a harmonious force that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, connecting people through the heart – an essential human element in an age dominated by technology. Her work, which depicts serene landscapes on ceramic surfaces, is an invitation to imagine a world where nature remains undamaged, reminding us that we are not separate from nature, but a part of it. Her core message for today's youth is to look inward, discover what their soul truly wants to express, and bring that unique quality into the world, free from external pressures.
