bhagwaan and panchtatwa The term “ bhagwan” originated from THE FIVE ELEMENTS. All living and non living things on earth came into existence and then sustained and supported through these five elements. Ul�mately we all are going to be unified into these. Subsequently and very slowly we started personifying the glory of these five elements and idol worshipping came into existence. So… today's idol worshipping is a very deformed version of the glories of these five elements.

Taking inspira�on from this quote, the installa�on endeavours to rekindle the spirit of youth in people. The metallic interpreta�on of blooming flowers made in brass and stainless steel with a mirror finish ACP as its base, a�empts to capture the buoyant commentary of nature and freeze it for perpetuity.Spring Fever is an ideal floor mounted installa�on but can look equally mesmerizing for dry gardens.
