VERTICAL WAVE
The site-specific community art project entitled “Vertical Wave” brings people of different cultures, ethnics and community together.
To create the massive installation, I am using clothes that depicts second skin to life and that provides a value of security, beauty and comfort. As we know clothes become the status symbol and chronological progress of human civilization. To create the work, 1500 old clothes are stitched together to create a large tapestry of 108 meters. Metaphorical aspect of used clothes has beautiful connection with personal history, memories and their emotional milieu. 108 meters length signifies the spiritual and cosmic connection to aware mankind as a natural being.
Accumulating clothes from many communities has the collaborative affirmation of sharing love and affection. It has the meaning of regeneration and bringing essence back to life again towards the humble society. Recycling these norms has deep connotation of connecting individual stories and sharing their emotional values.

Stitching clothes together with the help of many people of the neighborhoods depicts the meaning of connecting borders, sharing histories and recollecting stories. It is freedom of being unified. Process of sewing with thin white thread has affirmative gesture. Human life is also connected with thin layer of mutual respect, love, laughter and positivity. This work is in a process and ended up in the process. Entire process of interactivity itself is an art for me; it is joy of living, celebrating the existence and meditation in itself.
Amalgamation of different color clothes into one united tapestry is created in a form of human wave as a powerful epitome of dignity, self-respect and reinforcing the sense of belongingness. The installation embraces the trees and the ocean as a gesture of love and respect towards the nature.
This work determines the reality of human race as responsible being to protect the nature and finding the roots within themselves.This installation is created in the form of ocean wave in vertical dimension. As me being a man from Himalayas, my journey is always to connect different souls from the height to the sea. This work represents collective energy of union and human as a vertical being with multi-dimensional dynamism.
