MATSYA

The Matsya Installation inhabits the intersection of surrealism and Indian mythology, drawing from Matsya—the first avatar of Vishnu, who appears as a great fish to rescue Manu and the Vedas from a cosmic deluge. It embodies preservation, renewal, and the quiet authority of wisdom in moments of upheaval.

Handcrafted in bent and stained bamboo, the form is anchored by a refined brass spine that seamlessly integrates the lighting element. A restrained brass tail, hand-fabricated from sheet metal, brings balance and clarity to the composition.

There is a poised drama to the piece—the way it occupies space with both presence and restraint. It reimagines protection as something subtle yet powerful: a luminous form that quietly holds and elevates the space it inhabits.
