For Sakshi Gupta, her artistic processes begin outside the studio, as she comes across discarded metal and concrete scrap on her way to her Reay Road studio, scrap that will later be incorporated into her sculptures. The pieces in her ongoing Mumbai debut show If The Seas Catch Fire at Experimenter Colaba present a transformation of materiality to embody the artist’s thoughts.
Sharing the ideas that the sculptures hold, Gupta reveals, “I’ve always been interested in the fundamental questions of life such as what is life about, what is our purpose, why are we here. As an artist, I am able to channel the constant struggle with these questions through my practice. This body of work comes from a feeling of disconnection that we feel within us and with a larger sense of consciousness [with others].”
