The artist makes forms inspired by underwater coral, using only materials used in Religious Hindu rituals - making us think about the natural order, which she considers divine, juxtaposed with human constructs of divinity.  

The artist manipulates these materials with great dexterity. 

The rudraksha beads are sacred to Hindus and used in chanting. 

The “Janeyu” white thread is used in caste ceremonies of Brahmans - the “high caste” in india.  

The red and yellow mauli is a thread tied on any occasion a ritual is conducted - for protection and as a commitment to the prayer. The cotton wicks coloured with inks and acrylics are used in clay lamps for prayer…

With the environment in distress, dying coral reefs and human strife over religion, they become a powerful statement apart from being beautiful.
