Anonymously Yours, 2000.
Material: acrylic sheets, acrylic colours, concave and
convex mirrors, spring, wool, cotton, and ply wood

 

Anonymously yours addressed the issue of objectification. The viewers could look through a narrow window in a box containing concave and convex mirrors and see reflected parts of their own bodies and confront their own gazes. This helped to evoke an experience of claustrophobia and discomfort. The parts of the body seen through the mirror were multiple. They looked magnified and warped, thus transforming the image, and there by articulating my ontological concerns. This led to furthering my art form and extending my vocabulary. I believed, the idea of moving images seen through the reflection of mirrors could be experimented with more freely through the film medium which led to the next project Reduced spaces.
