The works point to the transformation of these structures from opaque mirrors of their surroundings during the day to transparent windows at night.
Outside the Gated Community reflects on class, urban transformation, and memory through layered imagery. Monochrome figures—Indians from varied social backgrounds—are painted on paper and overlaid with glass and pastel geometric forms, evoking the aesthetics of modern Indian architecture. The work captures the tension between lived realities and the glossy surfaces of aspirational urban development. Further, the layered two dimentional works uniquely compress the ideas of time and change in urban spaces.Literature
