My work is concerned with the decent of the ordinary human and how acceptance of a single injustice cascades into its normalization. The conventional narrative attributes historical tragedies, as a top down function driven by evil leaders whose ideas proliferate downwards to society. However, ordinary people must participate to set up the conditions for tragedies to exist.

My work seeks to evoke reflection by capturing inequality and the rituals needed for its effect, through investigating and analysing the deaths of distinct groups which embody the disparities between the powerful and the vulnerable. By narrating these stories and applying diverse design processes to storytelling, I aim to convey and compare forgotten human stories with new depth, perspective and meaning to commentate on our social structures and morality.

I blend realism captured through photography, apparitions translated through frottages and the limitless possibilities of expanded painting to create indexical marks which deromanticize death and creates an impression of deep concern. Timelessness and inequality are explored through site specific work in both India and Britain.

I am committed to using my art as a vessel to challenge social control and question societies conformity to inequitable norms and values, rooted in my upbringing in India. Discrimination runs rife; caste system, religious discrimination, women’s equality; I strive to challenge techniques used to maintain injustice and our acceptance of repressive norms and values as ‘culture’.
