Living Heritage is a part of a series which is an outcome of love for the forgotten silence of our past. This dialogue is a continuum of Apte’s empathy and nostalgia for these awesome, but at some level woeful structures. It is from the entirety of images from sundry such monuments that Dattatreya has carved chunks of imagery such as trellises and their shadows cast on the stone floor below, arches, marble inlay, grille doorways, terrazzo work from wall and ceiling, juxtaposed on scaffolds of his imagination, to create each fascinating the frame. The fine textures and minute detailing retain the entire lyric and rhythm that must necessarily flow across the expanse of these visually perhaps the most beautiful and potent of architectural edifices, that feature in his works.
