It is an ode to what is inherent in me as a woman, from my mother and before her my grandmother (nani) who was a single mother in her time which brought me a sense of bravery that how women before me have survived . It wasn’t easy for her to do that and neither it is easy for a woman to do that still, there is a lot of weirdness a woman’s body carries , grief, consciousness, judgement, resistance, love, care. I don’t think there is a sense of singularity that a woman inherits or experiences, it is multifaceted in the sense that she is a tremendous creature who has the ability to carry it all, to be everything and still resist and be herself is what she inherits and therefore resistance becomes ritual in a sense . The saree represents how it is passed down by generations in South-Asian culture but in my work it disrupts this notion of tradionality of the saree and it tranforms as an archival respresenation of woman as a tremendous creature, which I consider myself to be too. I have used natural dyes from Colorashramfoundation and it is printed by my father, Vipul Patel back in my home country India who is a printer himself and has also influenced me to inherit this disrupted , rebellious sense in my work and my being.
