The central concern of Scaria’s recent pratice is mankind itself, its essence, the meaning of
existence, man’s relations with society, the world, and finally destiny. The journey of man
beginning from the Garden of Eden will eventually end in the Golgotha, and the resting place
will not be in the clouds. The sanctuary is breached and humanity is reduced to a biogenetic
structure, exposed to the possibilities of its extinction like never before.
In this sculpture Fall, we already see the human being put at rest, who resigned to its fate.
Death stares us directly from the sculpture, the man offering no resistance, raising questions
about our future, our moral and physical fatigue, and the dangers of exhaustion in our pursuit
of perfection. Is the twilight of the mankind over? It seems like the long winter of mankind is
already here.
