Kawita Vatanajyankur
Details
Description
This contemporary art piece features a striking visual composition. The image depicts a person in a yoga-like pose, balancing precariously on a circular yellow platform against a plain white background. The subject's body is partially obscured by a cloud of sand or dust, creating a dynamic and ephemeral effect.

The artist's intention may be to explore themes of the human body, its relationship to the natural world, and the precarious nature of our existence. The distinctive style and use of unconventional materials contribute to the piece's thought-provoking and visually compelling nature. ...
