ABHIVYAKTI

Personal Work

Life on the edge was an exhibit done at Abhivyakti City Arts Project that touched upon aspects of the life of a female who defies the norms to find herself and understand her purpose of life. The exhibit showcased simple hand-drawn illustrations which were displayed through different mediums like posters, postcards, sketches. These illustrations highlighted moments of enlightenment, failure, anxieties, ecstasy – the bright and dark sides of living an independent life.

​

Each illustration was juxtaposed with a small phrase describing the state of mind/the story. These phrases reflect sarcasm, wit and pop culture. These illustrations were displayed in a 12x12 room space, reminiscent of an actual room of the protagonist. The idea behind building a room was to emulate the fact that the room has endured as much as the female, it is her safe haven with whom she can share things without any inhibitions. 

​

The purpose of this was to bring out vulnerabilities, forcing people to think about topics like sexuality, career choices, mental health, relationships and more.
