Katharasis in Forbidden Zones”

Solo shown in Gallery Sumukha, Bangalore and Kalakirti Art Gallery, Hyderabad(supported by Alliance de
franchise)

The show was all about purification and healing process in various mediums Paintings, Sculptures & Video
Installations I worked with various alchemical elements and essentials as base to analyze different stages of
purification. I used basic seven metals of Mineral Kingdom (classical metals) module as agent to measure/gaze
our various levels of impurities in both macro and micro level of our present society. The idea was to bring the
affect of these elements and by studying them in various different aspects like psychological, sociological,
ecological and philosophical in understanding society and self.
