Imprints of Present, Traces of Arve is a mixed media installation, integrating leaf prints on clay and clay-soaked fabric lithographs, using images of my sensory organs. Fabric is intimately connected to the body, weaving a narrative of embodied experiences. These imprints, both physical and spiritual, reflect on the materiality of identities and their complex entanglements with social, cultural, and environmental forces. Engaging with themes of identity, migration, and femininity, the project unfolds as a personal narrative of connection and belonging.
