In the inedible series, Prageeth plays on themes of consumption and exploitation, employing ornate symbols and recognisable Sri Lankan iconography in his critique. A defining feature of Gayan Prageeth’s practice is his attention to detail. The smallest detail such as the image of dragon adorning the porcelain surface of a bowl is constructed with precision and careful consideration. This dedication to detail not only showcases Gayan Prageeth's technical prowess but also serves as a testament to his profound understanding for the medium and the stories he seeks to convey.
