As an artist, I seek to forge a dialogue with the spectator via my works,
open the spectator to his/her own self. Even though my works are extremely intimate in
their subject matter, they become portals of introspection for the spectator. They enable a
process of interior expansion, a dive into the self and most importantly it engages and
appeals to all human senses like touch, smell, hearing, etc, making my conceptually drawn
works purely sensory at times. I question and investigate the credibility of social structures,
patriarchy, history, gender and race bias and archaic rituals and beliefs. My choice of
medium is video, performance and installation. I employ my body as a tool to enunciate my
thoughts and reviews, making the works more like a personal dialogue with the viewer.
After completing my bachelor degree in visual art from MSU Vadodara Gujarat India; I
went on to pursue my masters in Fine arts from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. Both
my alma maters introduced me to novel ways of approaching and understanding art. I
realised that my own explorations, intimate experiences, both good and bad are a giant pool
of subject matter that I can draw upon from. Hence my works come across more as personal
journals, hiding some and sharing some aspects of my life.
