From:
“Stitching Mumbai: Father, Thread and City Medium” is a highly textural artwork based on hand-stitching with various threads, fabric and delicate rice paper applied directly onto a rock canvas. Drawing inspiration from his father's tailoring practice and everyday life in Mumbai, the artist reimagines the city itself as a resilient fabric- a place of memory, painstaking labor and quiet care, all stitched together by persistence.
This art represents the artist's commitment to holding onto cherished personal memories and an unspoken dedication to honoring the often-overlooked, quiet persistence of everyday workers who build the city. The work ultimately invites the audience to recognize the dignity of invisible labor and the powerful, subtle connections that bind a city and its people together.
