French filmmaker Agnès Varda once famously said, “If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes.” Artist Nibha Sikander’s practice, since she moved seven years ago to her ancestral home in Murud-Janjira along the lush Konkan coastline, has evolved from creating close-to-real paper sculptures of moths and birds in their entirety, to focusing on their specific parts. Deconstructing and magnifying bits of her choosing, set apart from the complete body, her latest creations resemble abstract forms—a script perhaps and most definitely landscapes—bringing alive Varda’s thought.
