The work is part of ongoing project along with a short documentary film on the farmers from the rural northern part of Karnataka. Being a birth place of mine and having belonged to a farmer’s family my interest lies in exploring the daily engagement of the farmer to his land. The central theme of this project is depleting underground water and farmers who are highly dependent on it. A landscape which are planes to the eastern part of Western Ghats, having lack of rain in these areas from last five years and the establishment of sugarcane factory a decade ago has lead them to totally depend on Bore Wells.
