'Lekha' honors India's linguistic evolution through ice and cotton. This sculpture, inspired by palm leaf manuscripts, bridges past and present. As ice melts, it reveals wax imprints of 13 official Indian scripts while dyeing the cotton—a nod to the ancient Batik technique. Installed at chest height, 'Lekha' invites viewers to witness the unfolding of India's rich scriptural heritage.
