1) दीवारों के भी कान होते हैं। (2024)
Kinetic, Interactive, Site-specific Installation
At India Art Fair supported by MTart agency.
In today's world, surveillance has permeated every aspect of society, profoundly affecting privacy, security, and personal liberties. Swift technological progress empowers governments and businesses to amass and scrutinize extensive personal data. The realm of widespread surveillance and data gathering has significant repercussions for both individual privacy and the collective society.
The concept takes cues from the Hindi idiom "दीवारों के भी कान होते हैं।" (Walls have ears too), emphasizing caution in divulging secrets, we reflect on the era of surveillance and data collection. This adage serves as a potent metaphor for the digital age, where our every move online can be monitored and stored. In an era of pervasive surveillance, it's imperative to realize that our digital footprint, too, has silent witnesses – the algorithms and data repositories. The wisdom lies in understanding that even inanimate entities can bear witness to our virtual lives, underscoring the significance of safeguarding our digital privacy and personal information.

3) Pipes and Leaks (2023)
Site-spesific participatory installation
In collaboration with Ronak Soni
At Mumbai Urban Arts Festival
This immersive installation takes shape using the very materials that compose Mumbai's intricate water infrastructure: concrete and pipes. By defying the conventional flow of water, it challenges gravity itself, creating leaks that trace the liquid's journey back to its source.
The pipes, reminiscent of the curvatures found within human anatomy, prompt contemplation on the efforts required to exert control over nature and facilitate urban existence. Moreover, this installation delves into the narratives of the diligent workers who labor tirelessly to uphold and maintain such vital infrastructures.
