Ruchi Bakshi Sharma in collaboration with Sanjeev Sharma, The Air Inside, 2020

Digital print, plexiglas mirror, assemblage, 34 x 49 x 34 cm
”The Air Inside” is an interpretation of a collective grief during the year of the pandemic. It is a sculptural story housed in a mirrored box, creating something like a maze in the mind’s eye, with an emphasis on empty spaces. In a period of silence after the storm has passed, multiple realities unfold in our peripheral vision. The old world is falling away in elongated time. Empty spaces where once something had its place hint at what is there but not seen. Perceptions and sensations are muted. A fractured construct keeps mirroring itself inside a self-contained /mise en abyme/, as it is literally placed into an abyss. We must learn how to see and breathe in new ways, for the transformation of the meaningless to the meaningful.
A note from the artist
Personal narratives created as worlds within worlds inside enclosures such as boxes play a major role in my storytelling. I am interested in creating intersectional planes where laws of physics might apply, but the mind is free to wander – melding and assimilating the real with a dreamscape. In creating these navigational devices, I am mapping for myself the complex and cyclical path to individuation.
