Raqs brings this phrase into focus, not just as a description of depth, but as a way of thinking: how do we ascertain what exceeds our grasp? What happens when there is both too much and not enough, when floods overwhelm, yet thirst remains?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Step-wells hold the memory of scarcity. Forests and farms mourn the excess. River-goddesses, once storytellers of rhythm and renewal, stand witness to new, unstable cycles.&nbsp;<em>Na-Bam<\/em>&nbsp;dwells in these contradictions: sacred and profane. It invites viewers into a space where the usual measures fall short, and where water becomes both presence and absence\u2014felt, remembered, and yet measures without measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
