Lifeless branches of trees lying on the ground, breathless and bleached, become animated limbs by delicate handling of the form and tones. Landscapes of grit start teaming with life and redemption. As Walter Pater has famously said “All art constantly aspires towards condition of music”, we hear notes of music rise in Dev Inder’s “The Echoes of Silence”
