About the Artwork +

In the art of Sabai Grass work, artist Gouri demonstrates her expertise by skillfully weaving a basket using spirally rolled pink rope. Sabai grass work, an age-old tradition originating in Odisha, India, involves using locally sourced Sabai grass to craft a variety of woven items. The choice of pink, a color associated with love, compassion, and warmth, imparts a welcoming and visually appealing quality to the basket. The spiral design introduces a dynamic and engaging element to the overall aesthetic. These pink, spiral-patterned baskets find their purpose in celebratory occasions like birthdays, baby showers, or weddings, aligning perfectly with the color's associations of joy and happiness. Craftsmen and artisans often use different colors and patterns to display their creativity and skills, pushing the boundaries of traditional Sabai grasswork. This artistic expression through spiral and pink elements conveys a symbolic message related to the journey of love or personal growth.
