Artist Statement
My work bridges the tactility of material exploration with conceptual questions of fragmented
legacy, appropriation/appreciation, and cultural design hierarchies. I often look to South Indian
street art and auto-decals, as well as Bay Area signage and vintage tattoo flash art for inspiration.
My parents are also a huge source of inspiration for me; their recent descent into Q-Anon and right
wing ideologies is the focus of my current research into conspiracy, and excerpts from their 1980s
immigration from India also appear frequently in my work.
