Even in the quietest rooms, our minds still scrolls. I sculpted this monk seated in stillness, modeled agter temple guardians from Southern India. But instead of a gaze turned inward, he wears a VR headset, anew kind if third eye. One that sees ecerything, all at once.
The dog beside him is my anchor point- loyal, simple, real. In a world chasing signals, he just stays.
This piece lives somewhere between contradiction and surrender. It draws from the calm of Buddhist sculpture but also the information overload of today.
‘I grew up around shrines and stone idols, spaces that asked you to be still. This sculpture is what happens when that stillness meets our current noise.”
In the lineage of pop surrealism and reimagined ritual, Avatar of Innernet reflects a shift in what it used to be. But maybe it never was.
