Chanda knows that while she must still manage her epilepsy with medication, she is lucky to have well-controlled seizures and to have found a treatment that works.
Chanda's criterion for deciding when a figure is complete is that it be real to him (irrespective of how - or how easily - the viewer may read it).
Chanda sees the initial uprooting as a kind of violence, yet his emphasis is on a restorative fusion and unity in each finished work.
The figures are, of course, acting out the story of their invention by Chanda's imagination, but a stage-like character derives also from his tendency to look at a painting as he imagines a sculptor might look at a relief.
