Michael Jackson Lives on in India
Most people in India really believe in transmigration – that when beings pass away their soul moves on into other bodies and lives – along paths that are often determined by love.
Master artist & guitarist Shariq Khan imagined the love of hundreds of millions of Indian fans attracting MJ’s soul and all the things he must have loved when he arrived.

THE MJI COLLECTION
22 original works each created on A3 size composite vintage gov documents* in silver, gold and black gel pigments.
The collection was conceived and created as a single tribute work that might someday reach Michael’s estate and family. Pieces are not for sale individually.
* Even migrating souls must deal with endless bureaucratic paperwork here – that’s one sure way you know you’re really in India.
Re Michael’s mechanistic macho
MJ’s incredible dance precision earned him the admiring “Michael the Machine” tag here,
hence all the funky gears, wheels and springs that his Indian self sports so proudly now.
Excuse the rough scans & MJI watermarks
