The piece is divided into two halves: one side reveals the figure’s anatomical structure, highlighting the role of bodily knowledge in the artist’s practice, while the other depicts a classical dancer embodying movement, heritage, and expression.Incorporating crystal beads, temple-inspired motifs, and hanging elements reminiscent of sacred garlands, the work captures the spiritual atmosphere of Hindu spaces. Subtle references to music acknowledge its role as a vital undercurrent in performance, while layered marks and textured surfaces merge gesture and meaning. A unique synthesis of anatomy, spirituality, and craftsmanship, Between Flesh and Spirit celebrates the intersection of devotion, discipline, and identity.Media--Mixed media on canvas.
