My works have evolved from an interest in various facets of consumer culture to a foray into currency notes, with the creation of popular-culture-inspired socio-political work.
With Wonderland as a metaphor for life, and storytelling as my aim, my new series investigates and ponders existential ideas and coming-of-age struggles in conjunction along with themes of deception, political ambiguities and popular culture that are usually explored in my work. I am interested in the idea of deception and manipulation that exists in our worldly experience on various levels, whether it’s large-scale, carried out by governments and secret societies, or on an individual level, via the advertisements we see on a daily basis. With Mughal miniature references as an ode to my training in this field, I comment on the human condition, history and society, and how the past, present and future are linked in a strangely complex but fascinating way.
