Cenotaph (A Deed of Transfer)
Jitish Kallat's *Cenotaph (A Deed of Transfer)* is a haunting meditation on memory, mortality, and the passage of time, themes central to the Mumbai-based artist's practice. The work evokes the concept of a cenotaph—a monument erected in honor of the dead whose remains lie elsewhere—as a symbolic act of transfer between the living and those who have perished. Through his layered visual and conceptual language, Kallat transforms absence into a tangible presence, inviting viewers to reflect on collective loss and historical inheritance.
