Shravasti (Finding Equilibrium)

A slender figure vaults upward from a precarious perch, arms flung wide in a gesture that oscillates between triumph and surrender, as if the body were briefly liberated from gravity’s terms. The rough, bark-like columns beneath—scarred with tactile histories—form a fractured skyline of obstacles turned into pedestals, their vertical rhythm pulling the eye toward the suspended moment of ascent. Patinated bronze shifts between earthen browns and oxidized greens, lending the work a weathered tenderness, as though endurance itself has been cast into metal. In this stark, open space, the sculpture reads as a parable of becoming: joy not as ease, but as balance struck atop accumulated weight.
