In his sculptures, Subodh Gupta works on icons of Indian culture and tries to understand how all these objects are symbolic of a culture built on both individual and collective identities and the body politic of the nation itself. This gigantic sign of Indian culture formed by the bunch of buckets recalls the everyday life of a civilization that is in spiritual equilibrium with the elements of nature and at the same time, is one of the leading industrialized countries, after China. © Photo credit: Tony Metaxas
