This time based video installation of 3mins loop in set a black wedge box. This work is about the metaphysical changes that take place in the moment of looking and being looked at. The only way for the viewer to view what inside in the wedge shaped box is by looking through the crack of the peeping hole . This work exemplifies the theme of Sartre’s being-for-itself and suddenly being-for-others in the presences of someone else’s consciousness that poses a problem as that someone else’s point of view can suggest a different judgement. In a second, the world comes on as referring not just to your point of view, but the other one too. The gaze never only belongs to the subject, but to the object that is perceived as well, this object effectively return the gaze to the viewer. The orgasming / chanting mouth in "Private Sublime" is the embodiment of this idea -- the mouth looks as much as it is looked at, and makes demands as much as it is sexualized. We are exposed only through the eyes of the other. Sitting with the legs spread, the viewer's body is forced to be perceived of his metaphysical self. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmAW4bjKODQ

I am born in a dogmatic Punjabi Indian family in Singapore in 1966. Escaped an arranged marriage at age 19 and over the years lived in Brussels where I trained as a goldsmith, in Paris and New York where I worked as a fashion model with fashion gurus like Yves Saint Laurent, Azzedine Alaia and many others.I now lives in London. I explore diverse range of media like sculpture, video, painting and public installations. Within the context of memory, desire, gender and power I explore the rupture of the fragile boundaries by ways of decontextualizing human body and organisms within the idea of Habitus, the experiences of everyday life that becomes our second nature.
