KAVI
Kavi, a South Asian mixed media artist who creates work that explores the intersection of her cultural heritage, personal identity, and the contemporary world. Her work often uses traditional South Asian materials and techniques, such as textiles, metalwork, and calligraphy, to create new and unexpected forms.
She is interested in the ways in which art can be used to challenge stereotypes and create new narratives about South Asian culture. Her work is often inspired by her own experiences. As a South Asian woman living in the United States, she is interested in exploring the ways in which her identity is shaped by her gender, race, and culture. Kavi believes that art can be a powerful tool for self-expression and empowerment, and hopes that her work can help to create a more inclusive and diverse world.
With the use of collage and assemblage to create compositions that are both visually arresting and thought-provoking, she is drawn to the way that these techniques can be used to bring together disparate elements to create something new and unexpected. Kavi believes that this process is analogous to the way in which we construct our own identities, drawing on a variety of influences to create something unique.
