    Narratives-multiple images (photography and painting on canvas) | 2011

This particular series are performance narratives where every action turns into an image which is further worked upon . I have photographed my hands and feet , the human tools and use them in my Images performing acts. The body appears in my work too but mostly as a garment, I work between the presence and the absence of it along with drawing a reference to sewing the skin or the body with the thread as if repairing the tear, the wound, the incision.
