In Search of Antidote- Encountering Catharsis
In search of Antidote-Intercepting Psychosis is
proposed work for PEPA it is about it is a process to find an antidote understanding
the subconscious thoughts through various ritual processes. These rituals inspired
by my cultural shamanistic practices which are incorporated
in my work with profound metaphoric connotations. The idea is to undergo experiential cathartic effect on both for my
audiences and myself.
Catharsis, Purification, Healing, Filtration, and
Condensation & Extraction of Pure Self are essential elements in my works.
Through various approaches which are Ephemeral, Spontaneous & Interactive
in Nature. Key areas of my concerns have been Humanitarian, related to War,
Crimes, Migration, Women's issues, and Socio-political, Psychological and
Philosophical aspects. All these thoughts go in the process of Distillation
(psychologically/ physical) relating to concerning issues. Collect the research material and the sources
to finally, extracting a purified element out of it. It helps in the process of healing. My work encapsulated with Process of
Distillation metaphorically may be applied to all areas of concerns/ issues
addressed in works like socio-political, Ecological, Environmental,
Psychological, Philosophical and Existential questions about Life &Humanity.
As an individual who is part of a social structure, a self who has to navigate
through repercussions of socio-political upheavals, develop perspicacity on
related human issues, and on a personal level of existence coping with an
emotive response of alienation, insecurity, fear, the by-product of our
"Post Modern" era. The duality of exploration reflects the concepts
underlying in works. I outline my art practice as Multidisciplinary as my art
practice has evolved through practice in various mediums like Performance,
Printmaking, Painting. My focus has been to blend this medium of art into an
interdisciplinary language.

‘The fundamental core of my
practice deals with states of phenomenological expression of self and
connectivity of the physical and meta-physical. Through this expression my life
is given meaning, it is the search for meaning within my life, that has brought
my work to its current manifestation. Performance Art allows me to enter an
existential plain, where the vein of an innate knowledge as Beings in this
world is explored through both live and photographic mediums, culminating in a
lexicon of works that seek to communicate, focusing on the narrative between
objects and action, with live works incorporating vibrations of sound and
energy, developing forms through performance actions and mark making. Intent on
transcending ego my work lifts me to a heightened state of communication
exploring natural materials as means of expression to connect and open
discourse, exploring the temporal tensions in relation to identity, seeking to
go beyond the shroud of modern life.’
