An installation by Minette Lee Mangahas based on the Indian raga called Marwa, which is associated with moments after sunset. It is comprised of two 7-foot scrolls, over 70 paintings of birds, and an interactive hanging centerpiece. Exhibited at the Sangati Center for South Asian Music in San Francisco (Nov. 1-Dec 31, 2007).

"Ragas in Indian music paint the mind, and Marwa's palette is that of dusk, the transition between day and night."
- Gautam Tejas Ganeshan
