BOUNDED IN TRADITIONS

Inspired by the female form, my acrylic paintings present expressive, nude figures stripped down to minimal lines and patterns. My depictions tell the story of a woman in combat with traditional values, and suppressed feelings that unravel under the societal pressure of being a woman in India. It portrays women who are perceived free and independent but still carrying the burdens of patriarchal norms. For me, these women are fighting to be free, free to be truly independent.

When reflecting inwards, this series also speaks to my own journey as a multi cultural woman, finding balance between tradition and owning her freedom.
