"Identity" series explores how memory, migration, and tradition shape who we become—across borders, generations, and inner landscapes. Rooted in South Asian narratives, each work draws on layered textiles, archival imagery, and mixed media to tell stories that are both personal and universal. These portraits are not just about individuals—they are visual meditations on belonging, displacement, and the cultural fragments we carry. I invite viewers to reflect on their own lineage: What is inherited, what is chosen, and how do we stitch together identity in a global, ever-shifting world?

She Isn’t a Metaphor reimagines mythological women not as symbols or ideals, but as powerful, complex women. Drawing from Hindu mythology and other traditions, this series challenges how women have been used to represent; Sita for purity, Draupadi for sacrifice, or Madusa for fear, while their own voices were erased.
Through layered collage, textiles, and paint, these figures are brought into the present, where they speak back. They are not here to uphold expectations. They are here to reclaim space, tell their truths, and offer new ways of seeing ourselves.
This work isn’t just about the past, it’s about now. It’s a call to unlearn, to reimagine, and to find strength in stories told on our own terms.
What parts of the past do we still carry?
What do we need to let go of in order to become whole?
She Isn’t a Metaphor brings mythological women out of the shadows and into the present, not as ideals or symbols, but as real, complicated, and powerful beings. It is for anyone who has felt unseen or unheard. It’s about more than reclaiming the past, it’s about reimagining the future. These figures aren’t just remembered. They are rewritten, reawakened, and ready to speak for themselves.
The mixed media series "Echoes of Changemakers" honors individuals who have made a significant impact on society. Through portraits and storytelling, I aim to share their messages, celebrate their legacies, and explore their motivations beyond physical likeness.
Using materials like magazine cuttings, newspapers, and documentaries, I create visually striking works that bridge traditional and modern narratives. These pieces are designed to engage audiences emotionally and intellectually, sparking empathy, challenging norms, and inspiring dialogue.
The series highlights influential figures like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Mother Teresa, and Malala Yousafzai, celebrating their advocacy for justice, equality, and compassion. My ultimate goal is to inspire viewers to recognize their power to create change and join a collective movement toward a more inclusive world.
These imagined landscapes are not just places—they are layered reflections of memory, migration, and environmental urgency. Drawing from my cultural heritage and using collaged fabrics, traditional patterns, and symbolic textures, I create scenes where nature and identity intertwine.
Each work is a bridge: between the world I come from and the one I now inhabit, between ancestral knowledge and ecological fragility. Through these visual narratives, I ask: What do we inherit from our land, and what must we protect for the future?
By blending cultural storytelling with environmental themes, these landscapes become spaces for both reflection and resistance—inviting viewers to consider the shared threads between our histories and the earth we depend on.
