Unconventional

36.17 cm x 24.11 cm

My idea was to realize a funny story with a childish side. The meaning is however more complex because it relates to my general theme: identity. The dragon symbolizes the obstacles and my fears. The horse represents me, while the mouse is what I would like to be. Being able to conquer and overcome my fears. The title speaks of the fact that it is unthinkable that a mouse can defeat a dragon. However, she manages to do so thanks to her courage (superpowers), while the horse flees.

Focus
Acrylic Paint on Wood
107.7 cm x 107.7 cm

This work expresses my identity because it's about my sport, archery, and the fact that I am capable of great concentration, cutting myself off from the world and focusing my full attention on my goal. I capture the attention of the viewer with complementary color in my head and lower body to show that it's in me. I preferred not to represent a real target but rather the idea of ​​it, in order to draw attention to the character and its concentration.

Shy

The word “SHY” is very large because it’s a burden for me, it takes up space in my life. The chain connected to the word shows that it is like a prison ball for me, it accentuates the fact that I have to live with it and it’s hard to get rid of it. The haikus represent my feeling about being shy, to explain it to the audience. There are two superimposed times in this work, the present with the letters intact, and the future with the debris on the ground to represent what I want to be.

The baby bird does not come out of its shell, It does not want to hatch, it is sheltered, However, the others do not hesitate and leave.

I walk, but he holds me back,
Even if I try to forget it,
He always comes back to me.

But the sun is high in the sky,
He walks past me with his blinders on,
So he doesn't see me.

He's always there and controlling me,
Like the sun that punctuates our days,
But he never leaves me.

I cling to my planet,
I know it by heart,
The universe is too big.

I am a chameleon,
I blend in with nature,
I am invisible to others.

I begin to enter the ocean,
But I'm soon overwhelmed,
So I take refuge on the sand.

The wind rises and blows,
The big trees are dancing,
And little tree stands still.

The weather is beautiful outside,
But the rabbit does not come out,
He feels the wolf watching him.

My life awaits me elsewhere

I went to Chennai's streets and took photos with random people while they were walking. At the same time I was standing in the middle of them. It represents the fact that I need to face a new environment which makes me feel my life has stopped. But at the same time people continue their life instead of me. I decided to keep three pictures in total so this artwork is more powerful. By putting myself in black and white, I create a contrast between my and the other people so it reinforces the meaning.

Judgment
Digital Photography, Adobe Photoshop
514.17 cm x 325.97 cm

The theme of this artwork is the judgment of others. One of the feelings I have daily is that people around me are speaking and judging me even if it’s not the case. Through this work I wanted to make the audience understand what I feel in these moments and why it’s hard for me to approach people. To represent this, I took people's eyes in pictures to create a focus on this element. I added all of them together to create an uncomfortable atmosphere for the audience. The different lighting shows that it can happen in different places.

Two faces
Acrylic on Canvas
51 cm x 40.5 cm

I want to show different sides of myself to people that don’t have the opportunity to be able to see them. I’m a completely different person when I’m with people that I trust and feel comfortable with. Other people can also have this reality but the gap between these two identities can be smaller. The painting on the left represents how I feel when I’m with people I don’t know. The right one represents the opposite situation, when I’m with my friends and family. the colors are brighter and delimitations are sharper.

Beyond your choice

This artwork expresses the effect of the action of another person on me. Sometimes people want to help or communicate with me however the impact on me will be different than what they expected. Through this work I want to show that action can have unexpected effects. This artwork is interactive to make the message clearer. You need to choose a random action and decide on which side you want to put it. The same action can have different impacts.

I recreate my bedroom which personal object and add sound that remember me my past house in Fr ance. I grew up in this place almost all my life before moving to India. This is a big part of my identity. In my house in Chennai, a couple times I add experience with sounds that remind me of my bedroom and the moments I heard them. These are good feelings and make me nostalgic.
