This sculpture distills the essence of the peacock into a form that is both modern and deeply evocative. Rather than depicting each feather, the artist shapes its iconic plumage into a series of sweeping, ascending arcs. These layered curves rise like a cascade of motion, suggesting the instant a peacock opens its tail- a gesture defined by rhythm rather than detail.

The body flows in a clean, continuous contour. The slender neck bends in a graceful S-curve, echoing classical Indian representations yet rendered with contemporary restraint. At the top, a subtle triangular projection hints at the peacock’s crown- that delicate crest which gives the bird its unmistakable majesty. Here, it becomes a minimalist symbol completing the silhouette.

The natural veining of the marble brings its own magic. Soft grey striations move through the stone like faint traces of iridescence, allowing the sculpture to shimmer without colour. Each polished arc catches the light in gentle waves, enhancing the feeling of feathers being unfolded.

Across India, the peacock is celebrated as a creature of beauty, vitality, and auspicious presence. In its white-marbled interpretation, the bird feels contemplative- a symbol not of literal whiteness, but of distilled elegance. It becomes an ode to the peacock’s enduring place in Indian imagination: a reminder of how a single gesture, perfectly rendered, can carry centuries of cultural reverence and artistic inspiration.
