Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking contemporary artwork features a woman submerged in a vibrant, red-tinted liquid. The bold colors and swirling, abstract composition create a powerful visual impact.

In her performative videos Kawita's Vatanajyankur transforms her body into a site upon which issues of labour, feminism, oppression and consumerism are thoroughly interrogated and challenged.

Drawing from a globalized and digitally networked visual language of consumption and instant gratification, her videos bears semblance to bold and colourful commercial advertisements, only breaking away from their similarities within her constantly recurring moments of physical and emotional discomfort; the result is a bodywork that is as strikingly compelling as it is uncomfortable to witness. ...
