Symbiosis brings together a collection of fantastical, organic forms that appear to exist in an interconnected ecosystem. Set against a luminous yellow ground, the unusual creatures and flowing shapes seem to merge and coexist, blurring the boundaries between plant, animal, and imagined life forms. Bold outlines, vivid colours, and playful patterns create a sense of movement and energy within the composition. The work evokes the idea of mutual dependence and coexistence, suggesting a world in which different forms of life are connected and thrive alongside one another.

Portrait of a Lady is a striking contemporary portrait defined by bold colour and stylised form. The figure’s luminous yellow-green complexion contrasts dramatically with deep blue hair and a vivid red garment, creating an arresting visual presence. Intricate, sculptural lines shape the hair and frame the face, giving the portrait an almost fantastical quality. Rather than pursuing conventional realism, the work uses colour, geometry, and expression to create a character that feels both familiar and otherworldly.

In the Early Evening is a tall, atmospheric landscape that captures the transition between daylight and night. A glowing sun or moon hangs over a richly coloured landscape, while twisting vegetation and organic forms create a sense of depth and movement. The narrow vertical format gives the scene the quality of a distant, unfolding world—quiet, mysterious, and slightly surreal. Deep blues, greens, oranges, and reds heighten the feeling of an imagined landscape suspended between reality and dream.

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.

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.

Prickly transforms the familiar form of a vase into something wild and almost otherworldly. Its irregular silhouette is covered in sharp, organic protrusions, while the Raku firing creates a richly textured surface with deep, shifting tones. Equal parts functional object and sculptural piece, Prickly brings an unexpected edge to the traditional idea of a decorative vase.

Happy / Sad, in your Hand is a playful reflection on the emotional duality we carry with us. Two hand mirrors become vessels for contrasting moods—one happy, one sad—while their imperfect, textured surfaces and scattered crystals add a sense of tenderness and humour to the work. The mirrors invite us to look at ourselves while also questioning what we see. With their little resin teeth appearing almost like smiles, the familiar object becomes something slightly strange and characterful.

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.

Garden Bouquet imagines a garden where flowers, organic forms and strange little creatures exist in a world of their own. Rich earthy tones are contrasted with bursts of vivid pink, blue, yellow and red, creating a composition that feels whimsical and slightly surreal. Built through expressive gouache and colour pencil, the artwork celebrates the unruly beauty and unexpected forms found in nature.
