shakti is a photographic and sculptural installation-based exhibition that delves into the complexities of femininity through the lens of personal identity.
The title stems from the Hindu concept of Shakti, the divine feminine energy responsible for creation, preservation, and destruction - symbolizing the intertwined power and intricacies explored in the exhibition. Traditionally tied to the role of a wife, shakti challenges societal norms around domesticity and the male gaze, offering a broader and nuanced exploration. The exhibition invites viewers to reconsider conventional narratives and the rich layers of the feminine experience.
