bhagwaan and panchtatwa
The term “ bhagwan” originated from THE FIVE ELEMENTS.
All living and non living things on earth came into existence
and then sustained and supported through these five
elements. Ul mately we all are going to be unified into these.
Subsequently and very slowly we started personifying the glory
of these five elements and idol worshipping came into
existence. So… today's idol worshipping is a very deformed
version of the glories of these five elements.

SPRING FEVER
Spring is when life's alive in everything. --
-Chris naRosse
Taking inspira on from this quote, the
installa on endeavours to rekindle the
spirit of youth in people. The metallic
interpreta on of blooming flowers made in
brass and stainless steel with a mirror finish
ACP as its base, a empts to capture the
buoyant commentary of nature and freeze
it for perpetuity.
Spring Fever is an ideal floor mounted
installa on but can look equally
mesmerizing for dry gardens.
