Studying design in India and pursuing the multidimensionality of the discipline gave me a lot of exposure to not only design but helped sensitize myself to observe the heritage, culture, the stereotypes, socio-political aspects of the country and the community. I eventually began constantly questioning my own beliefs of the past and contradicting them to be able to understand them better.

My current practice, as a Scenographer, allows me to constantly indulge in narratives and story-telling, the basis to every thematic exercise. I began working with digital montages, applying the same knowledge of building narratives, only in a two-dimensional space creating provocative juxtapositions to explore the concepts of Feminism, power, the country and the mysterious in single, yet powerful frames.

I extensively use vintage imagery from India and beyond to create scenarios of the current times. These unexpected compositions address the boundaries between various social, political and cultural stigmas concerning our society, eventually hoping to achieve a tolerance for this complexity and diversity. The vintage finds are like chancing upon a rare gem in a forest - beautiful and priceless, holding stories within themselves, frozen in time and space. The color tones of vintage images, the slight blurry-ness and grains add a lot of texture and depth to an otherwise two-dimensional graphic. The characters in my work take on lives of their own and I follow them, chancing upon varied topographies allowing wealth of diversity of meanings.
