Artist Statement Mirroring the concrete is a reflection of ephemeral world where human bodies exist and get attached to the remains of concrete. My art practice explores the intricate relationship between rural and urban sites with explicit attention to the urban development in which globalization, technology and materialism affect these two realms. I have been working on the constant cycle of construction and deconstruction which affect the infrastructure of human physical existence. My work is a reaction towards the demolition of hidden treasures of heritage sites in our country and I want viewer to contemplate the history of Mughals, Sikhs and British period architecture.
