Artists Statement
I am presently working on the phenomenal state of my mind. Being a woman, I believe in a hostile society where I live and spend every moment of my life. It leaves a drastic rampage in me and makes myself sometimes tired and exhausted. Although it drives me into darkness, the beauty of chaos of the society attracts me. Through my artwork, I have tried to express my feelings, my thoughts about spiteful and an adverse society. My artworks consist all about my surroundings which mainly depict the household things kept disorderly in my room where I find tranquility of my mind. I try to find serenity in a claustrophobic ambience in my room which is a much more comfortable place rather than the outside world. The light is the only part which reminds me of the glance and the happiness of the outside world. As the things are kept in a disorganized way naturally, I can relate this with the chaotic state of my mind and I feel a subtle beauty of equilibrium in an anarchical state. I find all these things lively and this way I fell in love with my surroundings. Somewhere, I depicted an elderly woman, known to me, has been tormented from her very early adulthood. She always holds a pretty smile which enveloped all her vexation. I can see another me in her. I have tried to uphold her beauty which has been tarnished by the maltreatment as well as with the time, through her damaged, tanned skin. I embedded her in a bright bed sheet which shows her outer plexus affluence. I found her in my room where her mental condition seemed to be similar with the chaotic ambiance of that place, I can relate her psychic state with some of the other women of our society and also with me. Basically I am being empathetic towards the ill-treated one who gave us positive vibes despite their awful life.
