The installation Machharnama draws inspiration from the Vedic and Samkhya Yoga practice of Ashtanga Yoga. The mosquito takes on a different aspect of the eight-fold path in each of the eight boxes of the Machharnama installation. The aim of this artistic installation is to highlight the fallacies of a human soul trapped amongst the daily routines of life and human emotions in the present socio-political scenario. The use of day-to-day materials is purely symbolic. We used the mosquito as the central theme of the installation to symbolize the human soul and mind. The tiny presence is ubiquitous and omnipresent and ever pervading and depicts an unfathomable journey just like that of a human soul and mind. The goal is to effortlessly, and with some pleasantness to the experience, attain an exalted state of being despite the chaos of daily life.
