kal

In Hindu mythology, Varaha the boar was best known for his outstanding work rescuing the earth from the bottom of a cosmic ocean, restoring it to its rightful place, and establishing a new era or cycle.
The script is Hindi for ‘kal’ meaning ‘tomorrow or yesterday’, depending on the context.
With this print, I’d like to make a New Year’s toast:
To the 21st Century Progress of Great Developing Nations.
May you carve a restorative path for us in this new era…
