Thousand Faces Of
Ashtamudi Lake
This is a new concept of Sculpture named "Photographic Sculpture".
Ashtamudi Lake
Here my dream ' Ashtamudi Lake Sculpture ' is becoming a reality. The strength and beauty of any sculpture depend on the medium used to make it. The medium I used to make this sculpture is 2180 photographs of Ashtamudi Lake, which capture the depth, breadth, life, vibrancy and beauty of the lake. Ashtamudi Lake has made a remarkable and strong impact on the art, culture, and revolution of Kerala. Enriched by the confluence of eight lakes, this lake amazes visitors with its magnificent beauty. This sculpture is my pilgrimage through the Ashtamudi Lake. By sculpture, I do not mean a three-dimensional form, but a sculpture of a lake of culture, of country, of people. An innovative concept of sculptural technique, known as Photographic Sculpture. This is a new version of Installation sculpture.
