Size: 16” x 20”
Using the metaphor of masala, they evoke the layered flavors of ancestry, ritual, and personal experience, where scent, color, and gesture carry histories that shape the self. The series investigates intimacy, corporeality, and the quiet power of women’s lived experience, reflecting on how faith and culture both ground and complicate identity. Each image becomes a vessel for remembrance, blending sensory and spiritual traces, creating a space where the personal and collective coexist, and where memory itself becomes both nourishment and inheritance.
