00:00The smallest is around 0.5 mm, which is a chair height of 1.5 mm, which is a chair height

00:29I sculpted way back in 2018 and the largest is like in a 6 mm pencil that is a bookshelf.

00:53So I started to think upon like what are the sharpest objects which I have beside me.

00:58So like the needles and the sharpener blades.

01:00So these things came into the action where I then started to carve with the Nataraja

01:05pencils and then move on to the Apsara and then to the Bicker Graphic Pencils.

01:28So when I got into a hyper-realistic detail and a very detailed manner, I go with the

01:426 mm and when I wanted to make into a tiniest form, I choose about 0.6 mm.

01:55I wanted to more socialize some of the things that have been tabooed here.

02:06Like for the one thing which you can see in my Instagrams are the sanitary napkin with

02:11the blood stain.

02:17It takes me around a week or a month even for sculpting a single sculpture.

02:27So the sculpting process is like taking out dust by dust.

02:32It's like a kind of a meditative state that we go into this process.

02:36I generally choose upon into a night time.

02:48It's a kind of a terrain kind of setup.

02:50So in this terrain kind of setup, a lonely man has been living in his own place.

02:55So I'm here is like a person who's been living in his own place.

03:00It's a rustic form.

03:01You can have a lot of details here like he has a kind of a tin scans and he has a first

03:10aid bags and he's about to study his own concepts and some storage cans.

03:23The next kind of my aims is like to go as much as tiny as the human forms.

03:28So like a very tiny, which is only visible through microscopes.
