The artist is an Indian sculptor with an interest in various mediums. She is currently exploring the ‘the idea of adornment’ with an Interest in ‘form’ , as a ‘body’ and its transformation; be it ‘skin’, ‘metal’ or ‘weather’. The possibilities encourage her to communicate  the sentimental potency of objects. Under her brand Dookdi she makes wearable pieces inspired by moths and insects with an inclination towards slight distortions celebrating the duality of existence itself.

The process of making the creatures out of metal sheets paved a way into a meditative process of abstraction that took a life of its own, turning these obsessions into an expression of the subtlety /oddity of human feelings.
