Mumbai, India

The Walker is a sculpture that references ideas around mythology, difference and otherness. Made using found objects this sculpture appears as an archaeological excavation as well as a mutated being arriving from the future. Playing on this pull between the past and future this walker serves as a constant reminder of the whirl of our contemporary existence. It is playful, yet strange.

The work was featured as part of the exhibition 'Asymmetrical Objects', curated by Tasneem Zakaria Mehta and co-curated by Himanshu Kadam. The exhibition presented the works of ten contemporary artists whose practice includes an interest in nature and science or consumption and degradation as process and product, to respond to these ideas and to explore the much-debated Age of the Anthropocene and its impact on the environment and the effects on biodiversity.
