The Sine Between You And Me- by Seema Lisa Pandya 2022 is hand crafted by Seema Lisa Pandya. This piece is inspired by the nature of sine waves as an exchange of forces that make up the fabric of reality. “You and Me” are also defined by each other an exchange in a similar inclusion and exclusion waving dynamic. This is also the first merger of Seema’s Amoebic Void Series and Tabla Sculpture Series. The piece is made from used tabla pudis (the skins of the Indian classical tabla drum) donated by tabla schools and professional tabla percussionists. Each round 'pudi' has had hundreds of hours of concentrated energetic rhythmic practice by musicians until the skin is no longer usable. "I was once a former student learning to play the tabla. When I hear the sound of the tabla (especially the deeper bhya drum) and was taught different rhythmic patterns indicative to classical Indian music, I experience these sounds visually as a rhythmical "push-pull" "inhale-exhale" balance that is a fundamental building block of natural forms. I have woven these rhythmical instrument parts together to represent these forms.". Reclaimed leather tabla drumheads, acrylic pant, and 13 ply FSC certified non emitting sustainable maple. 9.5’ x 2’- 4” x 7”.

A beat, a rhythm, a sound, an A…

All matter emanates, ripples, and waves

The boundaries curve and root

for ever increasing areas to exchange

We are all permutations and oscillations

of the sine between you and me
