When I am at the airport in Mumbai I feel like I am home, but when I am at the airport in Boston I feel exactly the same; it’s a weird phenomenon. As humans we feel the need to belong. I use my art as a tool to make peace with the fact that I can belong to more than one place at a time and can identify with more than one culture as my own.

I am a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores this co-production of different cultures. Leading two realities myself, one as an Indian living in the United States and the other as a U.S. citizen living in India, I pry at the cultural and social dynamics of parallel worlds. I take the idiosyncrasies of different cultures (not necessarily restricted to just the US and India), analyze them, and then recontextualize them by adding layers of different materials and imagery. Each layer visually functions as the crossing point of two worlds, which creates a whole new place altogether. These cultural crossovers are the focal point of my work.
