About
A dried leaf once reminded me of a cockroach, leading me to create one from the leaf itself. Sculpture allows me to explore ideas of life, death, memory, and the beauty hidden in ordinary things.
Army Of Ants emerges from Sharan B's curiosity for nature and the unnoticed details of everyday life. Working with dried leaves, stones, wood, fish bones, and other materials often overlooked, his sculptures begin with what he sees in these objects.
A dried leaf becomes a cockroach. Fish thorns transform into a Venus flytrap. Birds, insects, snakeskin textures—all emerge from careful attention to the discarded and the ordinary.
In brass and found stone, Sharan builds an army of ants that asks us to look closer at what we step over every day.
