About: It is an on-going photo series that appears as the mythical self of the artist acts as a genesis of her reflective thoughts on current time. The work embedded with multiple layers of meanings and intentions which mocks the super-imposition of cultural identity, gender issues, nationality, and contemporary ‘Selfie’ culture in the digital age.
The colours are inspired from polar light which act as a reminder of the limitation of human existence in the cosmos.
Each work created in the artist's own bathroom in London, UK by the strict methodological lens- based practice to produce ‘Selfies’ as mimicry of consumerism.
Following Freudian hierarchies of intimate domestic spaces (toilets) artist aimed to show it as invasive to the patriarchal structure where the feminine body emerges from the liquid/foamy(Bubble) surface to solid/feminine, from "Visarjan" to "Arohan" (In Sanskrit sinking/immersing to emerging/rising).

The image and text series explores the aesthetics of propaganda through the layout of billboard or a social media header. In this series the text appears as philosophical reflection of artist which she uses as a slogan or captions in the work which blurs the barriers of the internal and external surface of human psychology.
