About The Artwork
This piece addresses issues of belonging, both viewed geographically and sentimentally. As someone who was raised in many different cities and lived in many countries for studies or work, the idea of belonging is something that I have thought about from an early age. As a teenager this is something I often discussed with my parents as I was alarmed at the disorientation this brings. I’m from Kerala in India, yet have never lived there. I am in Kerala once a year to be with my family and over several years have developed a deep connection to the place. Yet it was in Ahmedabad, Kuwait, Paris, New Delhi, Detroit, Boston and now San Diego that I have lived, learnt, grown attached to and loved to call my home. I now view “my places” with a mix of touristic curiosity and familiar comfort. And have realized that what I truly belong to is this sentiment, rather than the places themselves.

I am a painter, graphic designer, co-founder of a rural Indian social enterprise working with weaving co-operatives. I thrive on interdisciplinary processes and let all the parts of my work and life experiences inform my mark-making. I am working on a series of paintings currently examining motherhood, postpartum, grief and body image. These paintings document the deeply personal through symbolic and surrealistic imagery. I chose to explore my inner fears, weaknesses and vulnerabilities in these paintings, as an effort to confront them and, in some way, find a resolution.
