On The Fires of Life: Some Sleep Soundly. Installation

This piece is part of a subseries in Tarun's Iconic art show Humpty Dumpty Meets God: A Journey of Spiritual Awakening Through Art. Talking about the series as a whole Sr Journalist Dhwani Desai elucidates: “There are three Humpty Dumpties on frying pans as part of the series, which represents the fact that although we all know that we are going to die someday, we push it to the back of our minds. The different Humpties show peoples different attitudes towards death. “While one Humpty is meditating on the frying pan, the other is lying down like he is going to sleep, while the third is sitting like Donald Trump on the seat of power.” Yes, the simple truth is we are all on Life's Fry Pans. So how do we react? Some jump around. Otr some as this sleeping Humpty reveals...Lie down. Is he dully accepting his fate? Dreaming foolishly? Or is this Humpty blissfully sleeping on the fry pan the wisest? Has he resigned to being on Death row or is he claiming astral freedoms, or reached a fine detachment a rare acceptance? An auto driver driving us around, looked up at one of Bangalore’s proudest apartments and asked with a sage’s indifference, “Saar, why anyone needs so much space, all you need is a bed to lie on.” Mentally we bowed our heads to him. The Reward of The Collector: This unique piece in your home or office will be a talking point and thinking point. It humorously reminds us that Death will interrogate each of us. Demanding answers. If lying blissfully back, reaching a detachment, is your this piece is a must. Assemblage materials: The Humpty Dumpty is made of paper mache, epoxy compound and wire. The seat is paper mache and white cement. The fry pan is a wooden handled non-stick pan. The look is deliberately rough, claymaticish.
