Offering to mother Ganga (AMGVL)

Salt, eggshells, Water, quartz crystals
Six feet Installation
In this Six feet Installation I explore the significance of water, articulating its aesthetic and spiritual qualities, highlighting an understanding of its science, and intensifying society's political awareness on environmental and cultural issues related to Ganges River.
To tell a Hindu that Ganga, goddess and mother, is “polluted” or “dirty” is an insult; it suggests that she is no longer sacred. Rather, the approach must acknowledge that human action, not the holy river herself, is responsible.
