Sujan Khadka picks up abandoned roots from trees and carves them into absurdly shaped sculptures.

One might be taken aback when they reach 37-year-old Sujan Khadka’s home in Bhimeshwar municipality in Dolakha. His front yard is filled with giant dry tree roots. No, nothing sketchy is going on. In fact, Khadka collects them to give them a new life—mostly as wooden sculptures.
