Unexpected arrivals (of a virus in one year) and departures (of a species in another) transform the colour of time. Each year gets a colour signature: a chromachron. And a room gets filled with the colors of the years through which its walls stand, waiting. It becomes a roomful of time, in neutral shades, or in camouflage.

Through the years of Ladakh’s administrative changes, deaths, ecological crisis, protests, gatherings, and mobilities, each year gets a colour variation. And a room becomes a witness to the test of time,with unexpected arrivals and departures, transforming the colour densities of different epochs into a musical score.
