A stepwell, or baori, seen looking down its converging walls. Tier after tier of crisscrossing stone staircases drop toward a small square floor where a single dark figure stands, giving the scale away. Two low pavilions sit on the rim against a lavender and peach sky. Sandhya Kaushik builds the steps in heavy palette-knife ridges of golden ochre, rust, olive and terracotta, each flight a separate band of worked paint, so the geometry reads as solid stone catching late light.

The pattern and depth make it a quietly hypnotic, architectural piece. It suits a study, a stair wall, or a gallery wall where the eye can travel down into it.
