Kamath's use of fractured forms, interspersed with geometric patterns, gilded textures, and architectural decorations, invites the viewer to piece together these remnants into a new narrative. Each layer, each fragment, represents a different cultural or temporal moment—like the inscriptions of time, where older layers are never fully erased but instead form new narratives upon their remnants. This complex process reflects the continuous evolution of memory and identity, highlighting how history is never fixed, but is continually reconstructed, lost, and rediscovered.

 

The embroidery translates Kamath’s fragmented forms into an intricate tapestry, where geometric patterns and gilded accents are carefully stitched to mirror architectural embellishments. The textured interplay of cotton and silk yarns creates a multidimensional effect, evoking the layered narratives of cultural and temporal moments. This masterpiece, testament to intricate craftsmanship, took approximately 7000 hours to make.
