This work is part of my BLUE DESI series, which reimagines traditional South Asian iconography through a bold, contemporary lens. By using blue skin tones- a nod to both divinity and colorism- I explore the tension between cultural reverence and the lived realities of womanhood. This piece speaks to the societal expectations placed on femmes and women: to be adorned, worshipped, yet also confined.

The BLUE DESI series is both homage and critique—a celebration of heritage and a conversation about the restraints culture can impose on identity, especially at the intersections of gender, diaspora, and resistance.
