Photo Album
2020-
Acrylic paint on canvas board
'Photo Album' is an ongoing series of paintings made from memories of my friends and family in India that I started at the beginning of the COVID lockdown in New York City in April 2020. These works are inspired by Indian miniature paintings and seek to explore ideas of visual perspective, documentation of memory, reality and fiction, and themes of nostalgia, loss and home.
