Hundreds of model ants swarming across a white wall in a dense ring, leaving a clear oval of bare wall at the centre.

Time leaves its traces in subtle but persistent ways: aging, dissolving, carving, and eroding objects. These transformations compel me to reconsider what sculpture can become.

About

Death Circle and Untitled present Krishna Murthy P S's collective exploration of decay, history, and seasonal change—an inquiry shaped by natural materials and their inherently ephemeral existence.

Working with bat head root seeds, samara tree spines, wudfill, and soil, Krishna pays close attention to forms and textures, reimagining one natural element into the likeness of another. The scratches and marks that emerge arise from intimate engagement with material processes.

These works echo cycles of growth, dissolution, and return. Nothing is permanent—yet everything leaves traces.
