He was the first runner up for the ‘ Emerging Artist of the year 2015’ by Best College Art. He mostly does Iron and stainless steel sculptures.
The sculpture depicts the inner space of my human body, the seat of one’s deepest thoughts and emotions, conformity to what one considers to be correct or morally good. As an intensely private individual, the inner space/ conscience of mine is treated as sacred ground that is off-limits to other people and so it is an attempt to trace the body of self and split into two halves to convene in the limits.
