The narrative
Depicting the nine emotional essences of an individual being, this sculpture is designed with intricate details and textures that can be immersively experienced with a naked eye. Each of the carvings crafted define the nine different expressions from mythological beliefs- Sringara, Hasya, Karuna Raudra, Veera, Bhayanka, Bhibatsa, Adbutha and Shantha. Woven together into a beautiful wooden sculpture, it is created with a provision of LED lighting concealed from the inside to enhance the aesthetics and illuminate the space beautifully.
