The College of Art, Tilak Marg, New Delhi, is hosting ‘Duality’, a poetry and art exhibition by 14-year-old artist and poet Mehr Dhawan, a Grade 9 student of Pathways School, Gurgaon, from September 29 to October 29.

The exhibition was inaugurated on September 26 at 9:30 AM by Vijay Bidhuri, Secretary, Ministry of Environment & Forests, in the presence of educators, art enthusiasts and environmentalists.

Blending visual storytelling with poetic expression, Dhawan’s works explore the fragile balance between two worlds — one where nature is preserved and another where it is exploited. Highlights include Sliced Sea, crafted from recycled candle wicks and twine, and The Cry Beneath the Surface, a resin fishbowl embedded with microplastic waste. Both installations have previously been recognised by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting and the Ministry of Environment & Forests.

Pathways School Principal Mohan Singh Sanjeev Kumar and Dimpu Sharma praised Dhawan’s commitment to the environment, recalling her earlier initiative of planting over 30,000 Lakshmi Taru trees as a child.

“When young voices speak for the planet, the message is both urgent and inspiring,” said Kumar at the inauguration.

When: September 29 – October 29; 10 am to 5 pm daily

Where: College of Art, Tilak Marg, Mandi House, New Delhi
