This work reinterprets the traditional Khadau—wooden footwear steeped in Indian mythology—as a vessel of cultural reverence and reflection. Its rich, earthy textures, accented with golden knobs, connect the sacred heritage of the past with the sensibilities of the present. The flowing, curvaceous form suggests organic life and divine motion, while the gold embellishments signify purity and sacredness. Rooted in ritual yet expressed through a modern material language, the piece invites viewers into a dialogue between tradition and transformation, where the footprints of sages evolve into metaphors for spiritual grounding amid the flux and uncertainty of today’s rapidly changing world.
