Art is..

This is a depiction of my identity

and thought process that was

within me at the beginning of life

at Srishti. Women empowerment

and building our identity was our

main focus.

Thinking hands

Understanding hands on work

and applying our concepts using

different mediums like paper

mache, linkage, electronics,

crank etc .

Metal

Exploring aluminum by

cutting, burning, painting

and joining.

Paper

Tried different inks on 16

different types of paper

under the same light.

Jute

Made a jute-go green

jacket exploring jute rope

and sac.

Material Exploration

Understanding and unraveling

spaces

People and their memories

make a space, the place which

could be real or metaphysical.

Zeenat Aman has had a graver history of

physical abuse than any other actress in

Bollywood. She was probably among the first

actresses in Hindi film industry who was totally

comfortable with her sexuality. She, in her

portrayal of a bold and confident woman, was at

least a decade ahead of her counterparts. Her

relationship with actor Sanjay Khan was a violent

one, be it in her house or a five star hotel.

The space in that room is very much different

from what is we see outside. Domestic violence

is one such issue that differentiates between the

space that is inside a house which is real but

what we know, being outside is fake.

To show domestic violence and speechless but

bold woman’s life I am making a wardrobe with

beautiful saaris on hangers which are burned,

tore, with pins on it and blood all over. Those

saaris are to symbolize the hope and aspirations

a woman has even after what she is bearing.

Although every minute of her life she faces pain

and suffering, she keeps her clothes so nicely

and expects to be loved one day.

Tree as wood and forest

A trip to Dharmapuri to get a

better view of social ecology.

How do you see what you see

Expecting the unexpected

Sometimes we generate

concepts after working on our

idea and this is possible in all

mediums.
