About
The natural world is intruded upon, controlled, and transformed by human activity. One such example is of the mountain range which surrounds my hometown, Aravalli range in India. This phenomenon is expressed through the imposition of a grid layout used in urban design, and is reflected in the grid mentality of modernity. When this is imposed on a mountain range, it reflects a deeper reality, where the human becomes separate from the entity who is represented on a diagram. This separation, gives humans the right to extract from the natural world. Instead of being represented as a living entity, the mountain becomes a space to be exploited, abused, and used. Now represented as a commodity, to be consumed for our purposes.
A sculptural activation through the gesture of removal, and addition investigates the nature of humanity, through the embodied expression of making a mountain and displacing its matter until a gap appears. Symbolising the disappearance of a mountain because of human actions.
