Ekam

Before the first quarrel, music and prosperity walked together

According to the Devi Bhagavata Purana and Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Lakshmi, Saraswati and Ganga once lived together in Vaikuntha. A dispute arose between Saraswati and Ganga, and despite Lakshmi’s attempts to mediate, the conflict escalated into mutual curses that ultimately separated the goddesses. Lakshmi remained the peacemaker throughout the episode.

Ekam (One essence) imagines the moment before their separation. Saraswati offers her music, Lakshmi her prosperity. For a brief instant, neither seeks supremacy. They stand together in harmony. The quarrel that would divide them has not yet begun.

In Surface Chemistry, I give up control and allow materials to participate in the act of creation. Reactions are initiated, but their outcomes were uncertain at start. The resulting textures look like beautiful weathered stone, eroded earth, and microscopic worlds.

Reminds of the chemistry between people and how it changes under different circumstances and over time.

If a work resonates with you and you would like to own or gift it, begin a conversation or submit an enquiry. You may also share any customization preferences at this stage, if relevant.

For ready-to-ship works, we will share a payment link once availability is confirmed.  The artwork will be dispatched within 1–2 working days of order confirmation (full payment). If you’d like to take a closer look before confirming, you may request a video walkthrough of the piece.

For made-to-order works (without customization), we will connect with you within 1-2 working days for a dialogue and plan alignment. Once agreed, a 50% payment confirms the order and initiates the creation process. We share images or videos as the work progresses, followed by final visuals before dispatch. The final work is shipped after receipt of the remaining 50% payment.

If customization is requested, we will first connect to understand your requirements and post initial dialogue, we jointly arrive at a plan and price. Once the plan and amount are agreed upon, a 50% payment confirms the order and begins the creation. You will receive updates during the process, with final images or a video walkthrough shared before dispatch. The final work is shipped upon balance receipt.

Each Ikyaad artwork is created with care and intention, and you are kept closely involved throughout the process to ensure the final work aligns with your sensibilities. For this reason, refund or returns is not an option post order confirmation.

Custom Creations unfold over time, through listening, iteration, and shared intent. They begin not with a brief, but with a dialogue.
