Through my work, I aim to share and reflect on the socio-political developments impacting India’s changing ecological and cultural landscape. Using materials like paper, cloth, iron structures, reclaimed lithography plates, and graphite, I create a coherent language to express concerns about the rapid transformation of our surroundings. In this series, perforations and repetitive dots serve as metaphors for our constant alteration of space and time, encompassing homes, states, and social dynamics.

These psychological landscapes capture my inner response to the present, where boundaries and contamination of natural resources leave us struggling for breathable spaces. As we cut trees and replace them with concrete terrace gardens, driven by social, political, and economic reasons, life grows increasingly complicated. This unsettling reality compels me to portray these fears and questions—how we breathe today and what we leave for future generations.
