Interwoven weaves together a vibrant tapestry of cultural identity. In this collection of sculptures, the artist delves into the rich history of her dual heritage, skilfully exploring the intricate dance between the past, present, and future.

These sculptures serve as both storytellers and connectors, unraveling narratives that transcend borders and bridge the gap between British and Indian roots. The integration of these two cultures becomes an artistic journey, where the artist’s identity unfolds and evolves, intricately linked to her Gujarati upbringing.

Rooted in the essence of ritualistic practices and cultural traditions, each sculpture becomes a celebration of Indian culture. Yet, within the folds of this celebration lies a nuanced exploration of the joys and challenges faced by a second-generation British-Gujarati woman.

Interwoven invites you to witness the beauty and challenges of cultural duality, where the threads of the past weave into the present, creating a visual narrative that reflects the complexities and joys of a constantly evolving identity. As you explore these sculptures, may you discover the universal threads that bind us all, weaving a narrative that speaks to the shared human experience.
