Spiritual architecture durga and hanuman, Indien (2014)Artwork text and archival details
Adapted from the artist’s archive.
Durga and Hanuman are seen from an unusual angle at the Vaishno Devi Temple in northern India. The viewpoint moves away from a frontal encounter with the figures. Strong backlighting reduces the prominence of their daytime colours and gives their silhouettes a luminous surround.
Made in 2014, the photograph explores how light changes the presence of religious sculpture. The figures retain their physical form while seeming to turn towards a space beyond it. The scene opens a relationship between material, belief and perception, without resolving that relationship into a single interpretation.
