Metamorphosis
Rooted in the rich tapestry of Indian narrative art, my work reflects both my inner world and the world around me. Through spiritual practice, I explore complex emotions that continually evolve and transform. Metamorphosis, an intricately crafted ceramic sculpture, embodies this journey. Tentacle-like forms wrap around a U-shaped structure, symbolizing the delicate balance of lifes transformations. This abstraction captures the shift from internal chaos to self-acceptance, illustrating how each experience shapes and refines us.

Artist Statement- Swapna Das
In my current body of work, I confront the interplay of inner darkness and light through the lens of abstract art, channeling vulnerability and raw emotion into sculptural forms. My process is a deeply meditative act, one that navigates the tensions between chaos and order, destruction and creation, higher aspirations, and the shadows of the self.
Working primarily with clay, I embrace the unpredictable and tactile nature of the medium. The act of molding, pinching, and sculpting becomes a therapeutic ritual—a physical manifestation of transmutation, where negative energy is reshaped into expressions of resilience and latent potential. Each abstract form stands as a visual narrative, reflecting the complex, fragmented layers of the inner psyche.
Through abstraction, my sculptures reject literal representation, instead inviting viewers to engage intuitively with form, texture, and space. These pieces challenge the boundaries between the seen and unseen, echoing the constant flux of my spiritual and emotional landscapes.
My work is influenced by my engagement with Buddhist philosophies, particularly the concepts of mindfulness, impermanence, and the pursuit of balance. By allowing the materials to speak and evolve naturally, I seek to capture the essence of this dynamic interplay, offering moments of introspection and connection for both myself and my audience.
Through my art, I aim to explore and share the universal human experience of navigating vulnerability, cultivating self-awareness, and striving for harmony amidst complexity.
