UNDER THE HOLY BRICKS 2009, Terracotta Bricks , Fish Wire Fiber Glass Figure ,96 x 48 x 10 in.

Under the holy bricks is another dimension of my recent works.
It’s about the dreams of a common man, of South Asian region. A
desire of having own home is not just a dream but it’s his aim of life.
Under the holy bricks tries to explain an endless journey to achieve
worldly desires.For me, a man resting beneath the rug of bricks expresses his
love and affection towards bricks. But at the same time it also look
like a “shroud” with a body lying underneath it, explaining a life,
which was dedicated to these bricks and to the endless obsession
with possession.The use of a very hard material (terracotta bricks) in a very soft way in
this piece describes the hardships as well as the seductive attraction
of a dream, to have one’s own home.
