Use And Throw (Rupee Apron)

Shaped like a vulnerable second skin, the apron-like torso becomes a quiet battleground between absence and inscription—one side held in near-monochrome hush, the other crowded with dense, storytelling pattern. The central medallion marked “1 RUPEE 2020” reads as both coin and womb, a modest unit of value turned into a talisman that measures bodies by economy, memory, and inheritance. In the stark white field, the hanging ties evoke restraint and domestic labor, while the contrast between blankness and teeming imagery suggests how identity oscillates between what is erased and what is endlessly narrated.
