“Sculptures, as three-dimensional works of art, offer a unique tactile experience. I engage with their texture, materiality, and scale to deepen my appreciation for their craftsmanship. Beyond their physicality, sculptures interact with their surroundings, transforming the ambiance with light and shadow. They evoke strong emotions, allowing me to form a personal connection with the artwork, making it an integral part of my life,” says Saloni Doshi.
