Aaditi Joshi's strikingly minimal, yet powerful works speak about the materiality, degradation and repurposing aspects of man-made materials and their effect on the environment and reflects how nature is reacting or healing from the impact human existence has caused it. By abstracting this everyday material, Aaditi coaxes viewers to think again about their own patterns of consumption, which have now come to an abrupt halt.
In her essay, 'WasteLand', Birgid Uccia says of Aaditi's work, 'The artist applies heat to manipulate the texture and shape of plastic bags she reuses from her earlier works. These works are created with small, biomorphic clusters of bags, painted in various colors. Plastic bags, ubiquitous in the city of Mumbai and discarded in alarming quantities, are explored in their dual function as an ‘object of trash’ and an ‘object of beauty’
