Cast Bronze

Bhubaneswar is the ancient temple city of Odisha in eastern India, known as the "City of Temples," where thousands of intricately carved shrines were built between the 7th and 12th centuries — their towers (shikharas) rising like stone flames, their surfaces alive with figures of gods, lovers, and celestial beings. The seated figure here, its smooth form half-emerged from and half-consumed by a turbulent, deeply textured mass, mirrors that essential aesthetic of Bhubaneswar's temples: the divine body simultaneously revealed and held within the raw material of creation.
