Garden

Garden is a sculpture inspired by Mughal gardens and scenes depicted in miniature paintings, their style intended to represent a utopia where humans and nature can harmoniously coexist. Garden’s imagery plays on a desire for a blissful paradisiacal land. However, this garden has no enclosure: its earthly waterfalls, rocks, flowers and tree are all interconnected with the heavenly stars. Using the traditional marble and stone inlay technique from Lahore, the work examines the symbolic significance of garden images in relation to architecture through its evocative power and aesthetics.
