In the works here, I explore the humanity’s agenda to contain life within the bounds of fixed and uniform structures - social, political, cultural or others. The geometrical, sharp edged bases of my sculptural installations represent the fixed structural orders that bind down the undulated, free spirited organic forms above on a tight leash. Almost restraining them, lest they find their own paths. These organic forms embody the fresh ideas, thoughts and progress for humanity.

​

We are made to believe that ‘rules’ are way of life and it is the only path to progress. Fresh ideas in conflict with the existing order is coerced into surrendering to the rules using both reward and fear, sometime even violence. Straying away from them therefore, comes with consequences. A Ahilya is cursed into a stone, a Gandhi is shot down, a Hussain is banished from his land. But throughout history, time after time, new ideas eventually take wings and find a way to express themselves. To give shape to a new order, a new path. Sometimes by violence, sometimes by divine salvation.
