MID LIGHT, A mixed media installation of found objects, Sculptures, Drawings, and Videos, was inspired by the contrast of eternity in the creation (Orlando novel) and the mortality of the creator (Virginia Woolf’s suicide). Not intended to be just an illustration of the novel or Virginia Woolf’s personality/character, I dissolved it enough to allow my own interpretation to be visible as well, and the whole installation became more of a shrine to the idea of ‘time’ and its various dimensions – physical time, artistic time, and soul time. I worked to transform the whole room to a space of a different dimension and played with lighting as well. It took days of arranging and rearranging and shifting spaces to evolve a language that I could relate to, but it all came together in the end after a feverish process.
It was great to watch the audience reaction; the best part about leaving your work translucent is that each viewer brings in his own interpretation to it in the sense that it is not just a reaction to the visuals and the aesthetics, but a response to the core idea as well. It is beautiful to learn of all those hidden layers you never knew were in your work as they unfold through others’ perceptions.
