NOTE FROM THE ARTIST

"Red and white vessel is inspired by ‘Laal Paar’ sarees traditionally worn by Bengali women while the motif is reimagined Henna patterns, joined by lacelike connectors to form the repeat. The vessel is constructed by laser cut felt coated with ‘Powertex’ (a fabric hardener) and held together by gold thread in the form of cross-stitch.

The vessel encapsulates my childhood memories and identity, the three-dimensional vessels are both encapsulating and projecting, internalising and externalising, public and private, whilst exploring Muslim, Bengali and Western cultures. To reveal a conceptual link capturing the identity and femininity of my mother and other mothers—me, you, us. The Vessel visually expresses the cultural boundaries and the uniqueness of the female gender- outside looking in, the viewer's interaction with light/shadows projection around the installations.

This has allowed her to plunge deeper and acknowledge the multiplicity of cultures belonging to several groups and consequently having several identities and even loyalties. This has consciously and sometimes subconsciously directed her personal life decisions and choices."
