When I first encountered Dalit's work, it felt like I was immediately pulled into a new world, and I was fascinated how he sees the world through art. What i found really fascinating about his work is how he can shape the mood and emotion of the scene. Its almost like he was designing spaces and characters, designing the emotional temperature of the scene.

Seeing his work made me reconsider the importance of shape, language and color. The way he uses them to guide the viewers eye, felt extremely meticulously crafted. What i admire is the balance between artistry and storytelling. His choices on what to put on the screen is extremely well thought out, and beautifully communicates different purposes.
