...and everything else stays behind

...and everything else stays behind
Soft sculpture Installation (2021)
Medium: Fabric, Thread, GI Wire, Light, Smell, Process: Sewing and Tying

My friend,
the ever rushing time.
caught me unawares in its nexus.
Picked me up in its chariot
for an unknown gallant jaunt
that carries me far-afar from you.
To return there is no way.
If ever you may see me from a distance
you shall recognize me not.
                                           -Rabindranath Tagore (Sesher Kobita)

Everything else stays behind is a rendition of emptiness, a moment of fleeting memories, smell, vacant spaces, and how we choose to react to it.
The intention of the work is to take the meaning away from the objects as they lose their definitions the same way reality becomes absurd. The functions and expectations of these objects alter in this dimension and there remains a faint memory of the unknown in the overlapping fabrics and stitches.
