 Path to Water, (2013)

Presented by GALLERYSKE at the Art Feature Section of Art Basel, Path to Water consists of five hand-carved reliefs depicting two elephants in a jungle.Each bears an interpretation of a single line of poetry – “Bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki,” by Amir Khusrau, a celebrated 12/13th-century courtier, Sufi mystic, and musician.Path to Water continues Shetty's exploration of the ambiguity of meaning that an archaeological artefact implicitly contains, and the absence of fixity in language.
