The Centre Holds & North Star brings together two sculptural works exploring ideas of balance, direction and connection. Built from paper, bamboo and cotton thread, the works use geometric forms, radiating lines and suspended structures to create a dialogue between tension and stillness. Their vibrant colours and delicate frameworks interact with the surrounding space, while the shadows they cast become an extension of the works themselves.

Thorned Beauty explores the contrast between delicacy and defence. The sculptural ceramic form is intentionally raw and organic, its thorn-covered body holding a delicate arrangement of flowers at its centre. The contrast between the fragile blooms and the rugged, protective exterior gives the piece its character—beautiful, strange and unapologetically imperfect. The Raku-fired finish further enhances its earthy, tactile quality.

Horned Lady depicts a fantastical female figure through an expressive combination of vivid colour, graphic line, and stylised form. The prominent horns and luminous facial features give the character a mythical presence, while the intense palette creates a sense of mystery and energy. Small in scale but visually commanding, the work feels like a glimpse into an imagined world populated by unconventional, dreamlike characters.

bloomscrolling in the veggie garden presents a vertical sequence of botanical photographs gathered from the vegetable garden. Arranged like a visual scroll, each image records a different flower or moment of bloom, creating a quiet rhythm of colour, texture, and form. Hand embroidery adds an organic thread through the photographic sequence, while the teak-wood hanging structure and beeswax finish give the work the character of a tactile, handmade object. The piece becomes both a botanical archive and an invitation to slow down and notice what is flowering around us.

Created as part of the JOY exhibition in New Delhi, these limited-edition canvas totes bring the exhibition’s playful visual language into everyday life. Featuring the distinctive JOY graphic in bold, vibrant colours, the totes turn a simple everyday essential into a wearable piece of the exhibition. Designed to be practical, reusable, and easy to carry, they are made for everything from gallery visits and coffee runs to books, groceries, and daily essentials.

bloomscrolling amongst the weeds turns its attention to the overlooked flora that grows beyond the cultivated garden. A series of close-up botanical photographs traces the varied shapes, colours, and fleeting beauty of wild growth, while hand embroidery introduces an additional layer of movement and tactility. Suspended from teak wood, the work recalls a traditional scroll while reimagining it as a contemporary record of everyday botanical encounters. It is a celebration of the beauty that persists without cultivation, care, or permission.

The Ungrateful Reptile & The Flaky Butterfly is a self-portrait of Akshara and Prakruthi as they see themselves in 2026. Two unlikely characters, hanging out together and moving through the world with curiosity, wonder and a little bit of chaos. Made from a playful mix of discarded and repurposed materials, the work reflects their shared fascination with everything around them—figuring things out as they go, enjoying the strange, ordinary and unexpected moments along the way.

River Beneath The River I & II is a sculptural exploration of water, movement and the spaces that exist beneath the surface. The two suspended forms mirror and complement one another, combining geometric structures with elongated, flowing elements that evoke the movement of a river. Made from paper, bamboo and cotton thread, the works balance delicacy and structure, creating an almost weightless presence that shifts with light and shadow.

Whisper of the Stars presents a fantastical encounter between human-like figures and an otherworldly landscape. Set against an intensely coloured forest and rippling water, the elongated figures appear immersed in a quiet, mysterious exchange with their surroundings. Saturated reds, blues, oranges, and purples create a dreamlike atmosphere, while the expressive forms lend the work a sense of myth and timelessness. The painting invites the viewer into a world where nature, imagination, and the human figure exist in an ambiguous and poetic space.

Dew Drops is a sculptural ceramic vase inspired by the fluidity of natural forms. Its rounded, flowing body is punctuated by organic shapes and subtle protrusions, creating the feeling of something grown rather than made. The Raku-fired finish adds depth and variation to the surface, allowing the piece to shift between earthy, metallic and iridescent tones.
