This article explores how Roy employs the metaphor of clay and the motif of pottery to articulate an urgent ecological vision rooted in artistic resistance. Anuradha Roy’s The Earthspinner is a poignant meditation on the interwoven threads of environmental destruction, artistic creation, and sociopolitical strife. Through the life of Elango, a potter striving to shape beauty from a crumbling world, Roy presents an eco-critical narrative that underscores both environmental decline and the resilience of artistic agency. Using principles of eco-criticism and deep ecology, this article examines the tensions between tradition and modernity, creation and destruction, and humanity and nature. The article argues that The Earthspinner transcends a personal or regional tale to deliver a universal message about our collective responsibility toward the planet and the creative forces that resist its degradation.
