Reception: Friday, February 8, 2026, 4pm
“My work explores the intimate dialogue between the inner self and the world it inhabits. In my current series, She Walks Between the Moments, I focus on a female figure who moves fluidly through emotional and psychological landscapes, embodying the timeless journey of self-discovery.
“The central figure appears as a Nayika, drawn from Indian classical aesthetics, navigating different states of love, waiting, longing, dreaming, meeting, and ultimately merging with her beloved and with herself. She exists in the spaces between moments, where time softens and emotions become tangible. Nature serves as both her mirror and her passageway, reflecting her inner transformations while opening portals into imagined realms.
“Rendered using gouache and natural pigments on Wasli or watercolour paper, the works draw from the delicate traditions of Indian miniature painting while integrating contemporary visual language. Subtle textures, symbolic elements, and surreal landscapes create dreamlike narratives where memory and imagination intertwine.
“She Walks Between Moments invites viewers into a contemplative space where love, identity, and
presence unfold beyond linear time honoring the feminine divine and the quiet power of becoming.”
