A scenic centeredness charted with the rust of an alloy, Bijoy's 'Sun Tower' is a flattened tazia rendering that one could look at from the bottom to the top and/or vice versa. Tazias are towering, massive bamboo structures that are ceremonially decorated and carried during Muharram processions, primarily made with bamboo, paper, cloth and other such materials.
Sharing a striking resemblance with a Mandala - a symbol of the universe in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, this work reveals a method of execution, an external manifestation of an embodied process.
