About the series: MAATI - 'Echoes of our untold inner worlds'
A raw, evocative exploration of human emotion, this body of work draws from earth-inspired textures, colours, and symbolism to reveal hidden histories beneath the surface. Created entirely by hand, each piece preserves the artist’s fingerprint marks. These layered imprints mirror our own buried emotional fossils, reminding us of what lies beneath, waiting to be unearthed. The veins and cracks in the maati are the traces of both joy and pain, suppressed memories, and unspoken stories. These works invite viewers to pause, dig beneath their own surface, and connect with the layered, imperfect, yet deeply rooted histories that define what it means to be human. Each painting might evoke something different in every viewer, drawing out new emotions, memories, or reflections each time it is seen. With fresh eyes, the work continues to reveal itself, offering an ongoing conversation between what lies on the surface and what remains hidden beneath.
