wealth of a smile

  • 2013
  • clay (ceramic)
  • Fired in a gas kiln at 1220 degrees centigrade… their hats I had to specially care for… as they were withered out totally .. the torn hats show the withered life … & still be happy…
  • 23 x 23 x 26 cm
  • i love the last tooth... hanging.. the smile made me alive... how much one can love life & live it king size....

  • The penniless lady is a big toothless smile experiencing the wonders of life simply…. a hearty laugh as if she has found a treasure….her wrinkled yet relaxed face writes a new chapter on life’s philosophy… can you read it…?
