Statement
I am a multidisciplinary artist of Indian origin who engages with Video, Photography, Performance Art, Installations and Sound, among others I explore the construction of identities / identity markers, presence, reality and the status quo. My work stems from the mundane and routine encounters with the surroundings, the social conditions and the situations that I find myself in. My background in Psychiatry and interest post colonial discourse and questioning the status quo, shapes my works.
