The artist has created the entire artwork to create a visual appearance of stalagnate. A Stalagnate is formed when a Stalactite meets a Stalagmite. This looks like a pillar or column but is formed out of the natural dripping process that lasts centuries. These structures are found across the world and are centuries old. The artist feels that they denote a moment of realization, where nature itself takes 100-1000 years to create wonder. The artist tries to underline the play of destiny in attaining perfection in life. It takes years of learning, unlearning, and relearning to attain perfection in art. This natural wonder reminds the artist about her journey of growth as an artist. The years of perseverance and hard work shape incredible talents and give birth to masterpieces that surpass the test of time.
