Born and raised in India, I moved to Chicago when I was 20 years old to pursue fine arts and now my masters in art therapy. Surveying my life in India and in America, I find a lot of cultural variants but also many cultural parallels. I am interested in creating passages that would help me explore cultures and find my place of intersection. In my way of exploring and studying cultures, I have come to a point of exploring ‘Intersectionality’. This explains identity as not singular but pluralistic that includes race, class, gender and sexuality.

My work has evolved from being photographic and concrete to conceptual installations. I moved through various media in fine art in a way to gain knowledge of the medium and to use it where I would find it fitting. Therefore, I moved through holography, neon, art and technology, graphics, painting to more fluid mediums such as artist books, fiber arts and recently glassblowing and casting. I have redefined my main medium to be light and my installations have incorporated light, as it helps me give a dimension of ‘real’ time to my art works. Working with these mediums, I have discovered that it stands as an undeniable metaphor to the way most of us experience our identities as intersectional.
