Title:: Encountering the name and saturation (DHUN Gallery 1)
Creator:: Piyush Kukrety; Borayin Larios; Kanika Pruthi
Date Created:: 2023-2026
Description:: The name “Rām” surfaces on plastic keychains beside packets of incense, handwritten into notebooks, traced repeatedly with fingers across metal grills designed to form the sacred name, smeared on trees, sprayed on walls, carved into prayer beads, printed on cloth, on commercial stalls, temples, streets, shrines, markets, and objects. The symbol circulates around different surfaces, spaces and contexts. It is seen, heard and touched. There is rarely any space where the name can not be encountered as illustrated by the images.
