Sapta Dvāra (The 7th Gate)

About
Sapta Dvāra (The 7th Gate) explores the intersection of light, passage, and transformation. Inspired by the mythic act of walking through light to awaken inner truth, the installation symbolizes courage, renewal, and impermanence. A sequence of aligned gates forms a luminous corridor that shifts from quiet presence by day to radiant color by night. Motion-triggered light flows through the structure, creating a responsive environment animated by human presence.
