Source of a river in descending order 2016

Sculpture/installation

When we think of a river our mind navigates like a flow of energy lines. River flows like a nervous system, which extends life to people, communities and humanity.

We are always at her receiving end. We never understand that what we return to her can become cause of her death. An energy giver is being treated with toxic waste by the offerings of our ‘urban temple’. When we manipulate and contaminate resources, we hear the death bell of our compassionate lover. Greed contaminates and persistence of it kills.


Who directs whom? 2015/16

A sculptural installation proposal.

Medium:

Aluminum structure, aluminum-fabricated sheet, Mirror glass, 2 Clocks, Motor, Iron Sheet, and Paint Size: 15 feet height, 10 feet width and 6 feet thickness.

The installation ‘Who directs whom?’ is an attempt to understand the urban psyche in connection with the modern concept of time and its influence on the social behavior. When our actions are set by the movements of the clock, we tend to forget the idea of time as a cultural paradigm.


Postcards: greetings form history 2013

Among the French architectural projects in India I was most fascinated by the fort structures, which they built in association with the local kings. Structures of defense have been an important gateway to the history itself. When we observe a fort structure, apart from the brilliance of technical details and the geographical positioning it brings to us a sense of ‘lost and found’ narratives from an era, which we have never witnessed. Therefore it opens up a range of possibilities to visual, oral and written histories to reconstruct the narratives in ‘defense ‘of the historical details it possesses.

Fountain Of Purification2011

A proposal for a site specific installation on the bank of river Yamuna.

Fountains in all over the world mainly contain three different aspects of engineering. The architectural element of the structure of the fountain, the complicated system of water resources which connect to the fountain’s base for the flow of the water and the recycling mechanism which allows the same waters to circulate in the fountain for a long term.
