Reclaiming Her Story

Reclaiming Her Story” reimagines the women of ancient myths—not as passive figures, but as complex, powerful forces reshaping their own legacies. Inspired by archetypes from Hindu mythology, these works are not literal retellings, but visual meditations on gender, power, and transformation across cultures and time.

Using layered collage, traditional textiles, and contemporary painting, I weave stories where sacred symbols collide with lived experience. These women are part memory, part myth, fully alive in the present.

What do we carry from the past—and what must we let go to become whole?
This series invites anyone who has felt constrained by expectation to imagine new ways of belonging, of becoming, and of reclaiming their voice.
