Sarban Chowdhury’s practice of working with clay is an everyday learning process for coping with minor and major failures in life. Ceramics as a medium teaches him to gaze at life from a different standpoint. From environmental awareness to the exploration of the human mind and privacy concerns, everything he observes and experiences around him somehow seeps into his subconscious mind and eventually reflects in his work.
