Whispers of the Forgotten

Media: Bronze

The story this piece tells is one of legacy and memory, of the indelible imprint every life leaves upon the world, however unnoticed they may remain. Guru's work embodies the silent conversations of past lives, the quiet strength of existence, and the fragile persistence of memory. Each crevice and fold in the sculpture is a repository of hidden narratives, waiting to be unveiled by the contemplative observer.

In "Whispers of the Forgotten," there is a profound sense of communion and solitude that coexists within the confines of the metal. The figures are close, bound by the same slab of existence, yet each is alone, ensconced in their own silent reverie. The work is a reflection on the paradox of human connection — our innate need to belong and our inherent state of isolation.

Guru, through this piece, invites us to listen to the whispers of those who have walked before us, to seek the stories etched in the walls of time, and to remember that history is not just the tale of the victors, but also a mosaic of the silent, the unseen, and the forgotten.
