Artist statement
Born in Mumbai, living in Chicago- I explore the feelings of belonging, loss, and acceptance of the notion of home being a space situated within the liminal. My goal is to facilitate dialogue and connections to create experiences that allow for healing this shared wound of estrangement. Through my work, I cultivate a sense of home as a place within, while maintaining a level of awareness about how perception and externalities shape this space. My current work is exploring longing and hunger for a past that no longer exists except in my flailing memories. I explore this poem from Pooja Garg Singh's first collection, Everyday and Some Other Days: "I ate the moon and ended up/ with moonshine in my nerves/ Laden with your memories,/ a quiet boat leaves the long night shore/ I watch them spill in the darkness/ I watch them spill, unafraid (I Ate the Moon)"
