This mixed media series reflect my emotions during pregnancy when I was living alone, away from my family. Homesick, I began to depict an imagined world in my works inspired by my longing for my family and my motherland, India. While some may choose to approach life in a rational, logical manner, my approach was by initiating a new, irrational train of thought with a view to create my own world. This imagined world had a unique visual language that found roots in the Indian culture, symbols, textiles and patterns. Every inch of frame is full of things to look at, so that viewers remain suspended in that sensation. I somehow felt as though I have been to the places in these images, somewhere along the way, perhaps in my dreams.
