this piece of mine, titled"4/4" was conceived exactly 5 years ago at this very second.i was toying with the idea of how much weight can an egg hold on it's head.
my mentor and head of department
@quddusmirza was so pleased with it,that he asked me to install it in the college at any desired place, permanently.
I still remember his clear words from my jury when he said ,"I want to see pieces that live in my mind even 8,9 ,20,50 years from now,all the other works that you people have shown me,I will forget,but this one is magic,it will be stuck in my head years from now".
medium:4 real eggs and 4 chairs.
happy anniversary to my most favourite and most acclaimed piece,oh dearest 4/4,you were so so very original,oh beloved,you were so fragile that people would be scared to even breathe in your vicinity ,lest you might crumble,crashing down to the floor.
you were a rare beauty.
correction!
YOU WERE THE RAREST OF THEM BEAUTIES!
so real, yet so ephemeral.
like LIFE itself.
at this moment, post war,it reminds me how precious of a gift life is ,and the fact that we need to keep resisting ,for other lives that can't,and those that once wore.
and for those who don't think before taking someone's life ,I urge them with all my might to reconsider their belief system ,otherwise there will be no humanity left .
#alllivesmatter.
wouldn't have been possible without my most underrated and humbly creative assistant
@burhan_karim_jaturia ;may your future be better than your past in every single possible way.đź«‚
