This short piece, comprising of a poem, reflection, and sculptural art, is a love letter to wanting more out of life. While “loki ki kehen ge?” (“what will people say?”) is a fear felt by all who have ever been encumbered by this violent sentiment—either as the oppressor or the oppressed, this piece offers a peek into all that is possible beyond fear. Inspired and informed by Gurbani, the wordplay poem, personal reflection, and metalwork sculpture collectively demonstrate how perspectival shifts in our perception make the difference between surviving and thriving, and between fearing “what will people say?” to imagining “what could people say?”.Downloads
