Statement.
It may be due to my Indian heritage, but I’ve always held a fascination with the quest for meaning. What, Why, When, Who, How,
Where- are We? Secondly, I've had an interlinked allure for questioning the hierarchical structures of our contemporary world. I'm interested in both Consensual and Alternative narratives, and their potential volatile distancing. My practice plays with themes of Expansion, Authority, Control, and Negation. I work with Digital Animation in the broadest sense, using it's spaces, places, and processes to explore these ideas in Analogous, Metaphorical, and Perceptual forms.
