Paru’s Basket by sculptor and artist Alex Davis is a monumental stainless steel sculpture that captures the spirit of India’s vibrant flower markets. Drawing inspiration from the familiar sight of marigolds spilling from woven baskets, the work pays homage to Paru, a flower seller who embodies quiet beauty amid daily bustle.
The marigold, intertwined with India’s rituals, festivals, and everyday moments, here becomes a larger-than-life symbol of culture, memory, and celebration. This cascading installation elevates a humble object into an immersive tribute to the enduring presence of flowers within the Indian identity.
