Neighbours by Satyanarayana Gavara

An original artwork by Satyanarayan Gavara.

During a recent visit home, Satyanarayan Gavara stumbled upon an intriguing scene: his neighbors had hung hen cages from two wooden branches near his house. The setup was remarkably expressive, revealing aspects of the owners' character. He was particularly struck by the rice straws poking out slowly, yet unable to escape due to being intertwined. This captivating and dramatic image sparked his curiosity, inspiring him to create a work around it.

This artwork was exhibited at Method Delhi in the group exhibition "Formation & Fracture" a group exhibition featuring alumni from IMMERSE by  Somaiya Vidyavihar University (July 2025).
