Huma Bhabha — Ghost
Huma Bhabha

Ghost

2008

A haunting figural sculpture, *Ghost* showcases Huma Bhabha's masterful ability to transform humble, everyday materials into a powerful meditation on the human form. The work combines wood, Styrofoam, metal stud, acrylic, clay, and wire to construct a fragmented, otherworldly presence that evokes both ancient ceremonial artifacts and the remnants of a post-apocalyptic world. Bhabha's raw, expressive handling of these unconventional materials blurs the boundaries between construction and destruction, breathing an eerie, spiritual vitality into the assembled figure.
