6. Understanding and unraveling
spaces

7. Zeenat Aman has had a graver history of
physical abuse than any other actress in
Bollywood. She was probably among the first
actresses in Hindi film industry who was totally
comfortable with her sexuality. She, in her
portrayal of a bold and confident woman, was at
least a decade ahead of her counterparts. Her
relationship with actor Sanjay Khan was a violent
one, be it in her house or a five star hotel.
The space in that room is very much different
from what is we see outside. Domestic violence
is one such issue that differentiates between the
space that is inside a house which is real but
what we know, being outside is fake.
To show domestic violence and speechless but
bold woman’s life I am making a wardrobe with
beautiful saaris on hangers which are burned,
tore, with pins on it and blood all over. Those
saaris are to symbolize the hope and aspirations
a woman has even after what she is bearing.
Although every minute of her life she faces pain
and suffering, she keeps her clothes so nicely
and expects to be loved one day.

8. Tree as wood and forest
A trip to Dharmapuri to get a
better view of social ecology.
