Creative Concept:
Deeply rooted in the Indian tradition, his work exercises everyday, mundane forms of mortar and pestle – a domestic utility in Indian households for preparing food sustenance – as a symbol of creation. The floral motifs in the work signals coming toward fertility, abundance, and the creation of beautiful things. The exhibits are a combination of stoneware clay and porcelain, demonstrating the contrast of characteristics between the form and materials. They are enhanced with the playful use of metallic glazes and patterns, the strength of porcelain, and pure gold, reflecting the ethereal, mystical and spiritual aspect of creation.
