A part of the group exhibition ‘SOFT POWER’ at Standalone in London.
This body of work comprises six interrelated pieces: three photographic prints (Shiro, 2020, Lotus, 2018 and Room #207, 2016)and three glass ritual arrows (Shiva, 2025, Durga, 2025 and Duality, 2025).
Together, these works investigate the intersection of symbolic archetypes, bodily subjectivity, and ritual materiality through a psychoanalytic lens.
The project is situated within a broader inquiry into the construction of meaning through embodied practices and the visual economy of personal mythologies.
The inclusion of three glass ritual arrows extends the inquiry into sculptural and haptic domains.
Glass as a medium is central to the conceptual architecture of the work: it is a material marked by paradox. Transparent yet reflective, sharp yet delicate, solid yet fragile. The arrows, hand fabricated are not conceived as functional weapons but as votive objects.
Together, the photographs and sculptural elements articulate a vocabulary of symbolic transformation and self-mythologisation.
This practice positions itself within a lineage of contemporary art that seeks to reconcile the affective and the theoretical, the aesthetic and the ritualistic.
