Forbidden Fruits

Digital Art by Ruchi Acharya

Artist’s Statement:

Through my submitted artworks, I stand as an advocate for the survival of poetry. My verses seek to illuminate the beauty woven into human emotions—whether in moments of ecstasy or in seasons of gloom. I believe raw emotions should never be hidden. It is essential to rebuild a safer society for the generations to come—one where their feelings are neither suppressed nor manipulated by greed, societal pressure, or the artificial complexities of forced happiness. Too often, people lose the ability to distinguish between genuine joy and fabricated contentment. Through my work, I aim to challenge this distortion and advocate for a world where authenticity and emotional truth are honored.

For me, creative writing and digital artworks is more than expression; it is a powerful medium for exploring the many dimensions of spirituality. It awakens an awareness of hidden energies that can be nurtured and harnessed to guide one’s dreams toward fulfillment. Each piece I create is both a reflection and an invitation: to feel deeply, to connect inwardly, and to recognize the quiet yet transformative power of words.
