Navjot through her two piece indigo and acrylic on fiberglass sculpture from the year 2006 playfully highlights the dual entities of the human nature, the constant tumultuous occurrence of events arouses the emergences of both these entities. Through this sculpture she forgoes her singular narrative and objectively represents the measuring, to a certain degree even the judgement which we observe within, of the good and bad, the calm and chaotic versions of ourselves, the acceptance and denial of reality and the peace and unrest which exists internally.
