Jatinder Singh Durhailay acquired by Victoria & Albert Museum

The watercolour, Sacred Roots, acquired by the Victoria & Albert Museum, is a tender portrait inspired by Harman Kaur’s poem, We Do Not Cut Our Children's Hair, Not Even the Boys.  The work reflects a cherished childhood memory held by the artist: his mother gently tying his hair each morning - a quiet ritual that became an intimate expression of care, trust, and connection between parent and child.
