Mona Sharma is a visual artist from Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, who works primarily in painting. She completed her Master’s degree in Painting from the Government College of Fine Arts, Indore and has exhibited her work at Method and Jahangir Art Gallery, Mumbai; and Abir First Take, Ahmedabad. Her practice often reflects on everyday life and the memories attached to familiar spaces.

Her artwork “A Home That Doesn’t Exist” is created using Cement and acrylic. This mixed-media installation explores the idea of home not as a fixed or physical space, but as an emotional and psychological landscape shaped by time, memory and displacement. Drawing from personal and collective experiences, the work questions what “home” means in a world where people constantly move - by choice or necessity. The use of cement evokes permanence, while acrylic suggests fragility, mirroring the tension between belonging and loss.

This work is an attempt to understand the feeling of rootlessness and how memories build an inner sense of place. The installation invites viewers to reflect on where “home” truly exists, whether in walls, relationships or the quiet spaces we carry within ourselves.
