The ruined Mughal observatory on the shoulder of the hill, its arcades open to the valley. Sandhya Kaushik keeps the stonework close and warm — ochre and rose knifed on in flat planes that catch the low sun — and then drops everything beyond the parapet into cool blue haze, so the drop to the lake is felt rather than drawn.

A piece about distance. It reads best where a viewer can stand back from it: a stairwell, a landing, or the far wall of a long room.
