“Dasagriva”, as a series, would portray the 10 heads of Ravana that symbolizes the 6 shastras and 4 vedas, making him a great scholar and of supreme intelligence. Each head depicts either a sin or a gift of life. Seven of them are also described as Cardinal Sins or Capital Vices in Christianity. The 10 heads represent the 10 basic emotions of human beings as Matsarya (envy), Kama (lust), Krodha (wrath), Moha (delusion), Lobha (greed), Mada (pride), Manas (mind), Buddhi (intellect), Chitta (will) and Ahamkara (the ego).
“Lobha (Greed)”, 2025 is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs, especially with respect to material wealth. The artwork depicts material structures on a reverse Fibonacci series golden ratio depicting the incessant fall or decrease of one self due to the sin of Greed rather than increase of wealth. The structures in the artwork also depicts a reverse axis mundi to express a point away from god.
