I have long been fascinated by Indian architecture. Over the years, my photographic gaze has become the source material for my explorations—where I construct, deconstruct, and reconfigure gendered narratives through space and form.

Through this persistent gaze, I ask: Who built these structures—these Parkotas (परकोटा), the boundary walls that once enclosed historical cities and forts? Who designed the one-sided windows in the women’s quarters—those narrow apertures that allowed women to see out, but never to be seen? Always keeping them enclosed in these hollow structures. 

I reduce these forms in scale, merge and distort them, making them redundant—fragile even—questioning how architecture mediates access, gaze, and power. I’m intrigued by these invisible yet normalised narratives, embedded in these massive forms that overtake the landscape—structures that need to be questioned constantly.
