The Main Stairwell
This piece is about women taking up space and highlighting 'feminine colours' and imagery to embrace these elements rather than these things being typically put onto women with negative connotations such as the seeing weakness in the colour pink because it is associated with women and femininity and looking down on aa a colour because it has been gendered through social constructs which inherently misogynistic.
The doll house both represents childhood and is also a mirror for what a little girl will grow up to be... Only aspirations to be a home-maker, serving in the home, always associated with domestic tasks. These choices are completely valid for anyone to choose the issue the artist is highlighting is when this becomes propaganda is pushed onto young girls which essentially serves the patriarchy, rather than themselves. And closes their options of what they could do when they grow up, it also shows how gendered the toy industry is and how they control how children see gender roles.

'The Model' 4th Year Exhibiton
This was exhibited at the end of the first semester in the 4th Year exhibition titled 'The Model'.
The inspiration for this piece comes from the conflicting emotions a daughter feels to continue maintaining the nuclear family. maintaining the peace in the family by sacrificing their individuality, abiding by tradition through generational expectations from South Asian conservative culture further piled on by the mixture of religious laws and gender roles. As well as the artist describing as being a part of multiple cultures but also at the periphery of multiple cultures. Constantly observing and being a passive bystander in their own life. The artist explains that they are constantly searching for their place in the world and they try to make sense of it through their work and express their emotions through writing to directly express their thoughts to the viewer. The work intends to display the friction, crisis and evolution of the artist's inherited expectations.
