पंखे का खेल
In "पंखे का खेल", Saket captures the weight of unfulfilled aspirations and the irony of power. The central figure, trapped in stagnation, neither rising nor falling, gazes at the wind—something he has long sought but can never truly grasp. Meanwhile, another figure perches atop the fan, taking the air for granted, oblivious to those who struggle below. The artwork subtly critiques misplaced admiration, where those who appear to help are, in fact, the ones consuming all the resources. It serves as a powerful metaphor for social hierarchies, where privilege is mistaken for generosity.
The artwork’s layered textures and muted tones amplify the sense of entrapment, with controlled strokes creating a sense of tension between motion and stillness. By using air as a metaphor, Saket invites viewers to consider deeper societal inequalities, making this piece a compelling narrative that holds both artistic and philosophical weight.
