Latika Nehra’s Modern Muscle is a sculptural investigation into the contemporary body and the aesthetics shaped by fitness culture. Composed of abstract, ceramic forms, the series distills the figure into playful yet sensual fragments—dumbbell-like silhouettes that highlight posture, contour, and muscular tension. Drawing from modernist sculpture, Nehra renders these bodies in fluid exaggerations, balancing strength with softness, and rigor with a sense of release.
Through glossy glazes that evoke the sheen of sweat or oil, the works gesture toward vitality, vanity, and the hyper-awareness of physical form in a culture obsessed with self-optimization. Yet through abstraction, these associations begin to dissolve. What remains is an encounter with form itself—intimate, ambiguous, and charged with the tactile energy of the body reimagined.
