Thousand desires

Cast pigmented cotton rag pulp. 6' dia.

As humans, we are in constant throes of desires awakening in us, desire to eat, have sex, and consume goods / services, and their fulfilment. Also these desires do not vanish after one cycle as they keep rising in us again and again like waves in a sea. My work ‘A thousand desires’ is a visual metaphor for this unresolved position, as though each tongue represents a tiny desire. It is as if I have culled all those desires together and displayed them as an assembly; in this stage it gains an independence of its own and becomes an enticing as well as repelling entity / image.
