About

Follow The Crowd explores identity, impermanence, and the repeating loops of society. Raj Mahanand creates many human figures from driftwood and palm leaves, showing the fragility of life in constant change.

Some figures stand at a window and reflect. The rods represent boundaries and restrictions created by society—limits that stop people from fully understanding themselves. The sea represents freedom, yet even there, true happiness is uncertain. Even when people step away from society, the search for identity continues.

Together, the figures express the struggle of moving between crowds, expectations, and personal desires. The chaos of daily life. The constant effort to understand who we really are.
