This show is a collection of the visual narratives that were created during Ruchi’s dream time. Over the years of dream keeping, many astonishing patterns became visible, with a constantly increasing richness. Often surrealistic in nature, unexpected events and mysterious transformations created an uncanny space-time continuum— making her question the very nature of reality.

A spontaneous self-portrayal in symbolic form, dreaming then became a path to understanding the utterances of the unconscious, the brain’s own internal optical device where the unseen was seen and the unheard heard.

These transcendental, in between states, laced with thresholds and transitions, metaphors and archetypes have been displayed within the forms of cabinets, dioramas, doll houses, moving Image works, lenticular and intricate mirror screens offering a glimpse into a highly subjective yet personal realm.

Through numerous drawings Ruchi constructs intricate surreal worlds, each one building on the next in a way that gives her work a deep, theatrical quality. These layered assemblages, arranged almost like a stage, invite viewers to step into a space where perception is fluid and nothing is quite as it seems.

In perfect harmony with this dreamlike world, Sanjeev’s furniture installations take on an almost architectural character. Inspired by the colonial buildings that surround Mumbai, these pieces of furniture offer a reflection on how the past continues to shape the present.  But instead of being static monuments, these pieces are reimagined as dynamic, functional sculptures—tiny, whimsical buildings in their own right.

Like the layered, theatrical spaces within her art, his furniture acts as projection of their soul landscape, both a functional object and a narrative device. reinterpreting history and the power of human imagination.
