Art for a Cause
In order to empower the spirit of sportsmanship and bolster the prosperity of the rich sporting culture of India, we have partnered with the Mukul Madhav Foundation. The foundation creates opportunities for underserved communities in Healthcare, Education, Environment, Social Welfare, and Sports. A portion of the proceeds from "The Fourth Umpire” series will go towards promoting sports activities and athletic endeavours amongst the undeserved communities in our country.

Sonal Ambani for Mukul Madhav Foundation
Sonal Ambani’s No Winners in War sculpture highlights the futility of war and the hope for peace.

The stadium closely resembles the battlefield, littered with cups and bottles, instead of a sea of bodies. What a world would it be, where conflicts were resolved with the stroke of a bat. A naive dream to be sure, but less impractical than exacting a human cost for territorial and ideological contentions.

Bespoke Craftsmanship

To create a personalized installation, the time pieces on each cricket bat can be crafted with the birth times or birth dates of you and your loved ones. Please reach out to us to create a personalized piece.

The very concept of a team imbues each member with purpose. The spinner, the pacer, the fielder, the keeper, are each in their turn indispensable parts of a whole. It is not our birth, nor our station that defines who we are. And though we may at times feel encumbered by the eminence of others, we are what we stand for and what we represent in a community. For each one of us contributes to society in ways unique to us.

Bloom by Sonal Ambani - stainless steel and porcelain sculpture from The Fourth Umpire series.

Our roots extend beyond our wildest imaginations, giving us the depth we need to nourish all aspects of ourselves, and eventually bloom into what we might become. Be it in a stadium where millions of eyes remain glued to us, or in our most personal and solitary moments, our kindness and honour must remain the same. A flower that blooms amidst the densest of woods, still blooms even if no one ever catches a glimpse of it.
