The naturalistic representation in bronze and fiberglass, combined with its burnished patinas in multiple hues and tonal gradients, capture the intensity of expression and emotion of the performing artistes.

The purity of the body as a divine form and its existence as a shrine lies at the core of Shahani’s philosophical ideology. This body of work is inspired by dance, particularly ballet, where Shahani has worked with countless photographs he has shot and with live models to depict the transcendence of fleeting moments. The fluidity of line in movement, its eloquence and its emotional expressiveness accentuates each work.
