Roshan Ganu: Gathering of Waters

Artist Statement

Sea /sē/

The expanse of salt water that covers most of the earth's surface and surrounds its landmasses.

Lake /lāk/

a large body of water surrounded by land. Is Lake Superior a small sea made of fresh water? Or is the Arabian Sea a large lake made of salt water? Both bodies of water are true to their definition. Yet, one feels like the other. This exhibition ponders over these magnificent bodies of water that are many nautical miles apart, yet feel similar in their vastness and their poesy.
