Darpana Sundari (Narcissistic Nature)

This whimsical sculptural figure—part satyr, part street performer—stands poised in a precarious elegance, its elongated limbs conducting a small orbit of mirrored discs that catch and return the light like fleeting thoughts. The warm amber glaze of the body, mottled with mineral greens, reads as a history of touch and transformation, while the cool blue base anchors the fantasy with the weight of an otherworldly pedestal. Encircled by curling, plantlike stems capped in luminous green, the work stages a quiet allegory of balance: desire and play held in tension with gravity, spectacle, and the fragile mechanics of attention.
