Artist's Statement
weight of me is an artist book comprising a set of five envelopes, a work that explores themes of identity, home, and holding space. Just as letters and journal pages are folded into envelopes, we inhabit homes, families, histories, and inherited ways of being. For me, the envelopes become homes: fragile architectures that contain memories, dreams, voices, and traces of those who came before us.
Functioning as vessels for echoes—whispers, breaths, conversations, and silences—the envelopes invite readers to unfold and inhabit the work. Developed alongside the site-specific installation weight of me, housed in the now-defunct Lambeth County Court in London from 18th–29th June 2026, the publication exists as an independent artwork while extending the project’s exploration of journal archiving, of what it means to hold and be held, and to carry the weight of many voices within our 1000 walled home.
The work explores themes of identity, home and holding space. In my thousand walled home, reside the thousand voices that preceded me. In my thousand walled home, I am free to be in and out. I am free to close and to open. In my thousand walled home, voices echo and surround.
What does it mean to inhabit a space, to break the walls down and build again? To build how you want to.
Artist Bio
Indian-born visual artist based between London and India, working across photography, printmaking, and sculptural forms. Her interdisciplinary practice centres on ideas of rebellion and hope. What she observes through her photographic lens becomes the source material for what she constructs and deconstructs through her printmaking and sculpture practice, navigating and reconfiguring existing gender narratives.
Her recent body of work stems from an ongoing interest in inherited objects, as well as architectural and archaeological remnants, viewed through a feminist lens to make visible perspectives that have long been normalised and overlooked. She uses architectural forms as specific metaphors, reimagining them as visual and built thresholds to question how architecture mediates access, gaze, and power.
She holds a Master’s degree in Print from the Royal College of Art and has exhibited her work in both the United Kingdom and India; Young Collectors Programme by India Art Fair, The Muse Residency Show 2025 by Muse Gallery, The Other Art Fair x Riot Soup at The Truman Brewery, London to name a few.
weight of me, supported by Plaintiff Press, is on view by appointment until 29th June at ASC Cleaver Street Project Space, London.
