I am a storyteller. My works are a combination of form and narration. Inspiration for my sculptures/Installation stems from my longstanding curiosity about human behavior, my observation of daily life, and the funny ways of society. There has been a strong influence of Pop art and Picasso’s work on my art practice; Hence some of their art practice streaks might be visible in mine too. I often use ceramic as a medium because it allows me to sculpt, draw and paint all in one medium. I like to maintain a balance between form and concept. I aim at creating a worldly upheaval by generating a challenging language for inquiring minds with curiosity and freedom of perception. Conceptually I believe art has the power to be also used as a social tool; thus, my works are a whimsical satire addressing the long-lived patriarchy and its pressures on all genders. I believe, art has the ability to powerfully confront gender norms and the socially created idea of gender through its visual representations. Through my works, I am attempting to break the stereotypical binary roles and deconstruct gender identity!
