Madalasa (Resting Figure)

This polished wooden sculpture distills the reclining human figure into a single, continuous arc, where the body becomes both subject and architecture—resting, yet structurally holding itself aloft. Light glides across the warm brown surface, lingering on softened ridges that suggest shoulder, hip, and cheek, turning anatomy into a quiet topography of breath and weight. The hollowed span beneath reads like a sheltered passage or bridge, implying that vulnerability can be a form of support, and that repose is not absence but a poised, sustaining presence.
