In Dance of Cranes, A. Sikander captures a fleeting moment of avian grace and transforms it into something eternal. Rather than rendering cranes in detailed realism, the artist distills their essence—elongated forms, sweeping arcs, and gentle curves and the stillness in the moment of connection. The result is a sculpture that breathes life, even as it stands still.

Crane symbolism spans across cultures—representing peace, longevity, fidelity, and transcendence. In this abstract interpretation, their dance becomes more an invocation of harmony. The figures rise from a shared base like twin flames or spirits in dialogue. There is balance in the asymmetry, and a sense of story in the silence between the shapes—a story of flow, yearning and coming together.

Carved in white marble, where light plays across its soft curves, Dance of Cranes is an ode to the sacred in nature. With minimal lines and deliberate openness, Sikander invites the viewer not just to look—but to feel, and to follow.
