• Jayanth Manda works were exhibited in the gallery along with E. Rohini Kmar for the launch titled "Visual Symphony of Magical Rocks".

The focal agenda of this series of works is an attempt to emancipate form and spatial dynamics from the servitude of the conventional decree that binds and shapes the majority of the recent artwork, including his own former works. It is a quest to obtain a sustainable stability in his work without having to be bound to a generic orthodoxy of symmetry, pattern or figure.
