Sweeet Dreamzz_2019

Ephemeral in nature, Parul’s work 'Sweet Dreamzz’ is unapologetically un pleasing, as is the social construct addressed. Parul often finds herself summoned by the memories of her childhood, though, while it evokes nostalgia, not all childhoods are ever so pleasant.

Raised in a patriarchy dominated society, Parul, was made aware, early in life, of her being unwanted, for she failed to be born as a son. Like many, for Parul her childhood led her to identifying as undesirable. Although this childhood in all its faults is what shaped her present. It is still, exclusively hers. In her work ‘Sweetdreamzz’, the textures, surfaces, mediums and fabrics create a unique interaction. Each one will invoke different kinds of memories, and speak to specific moods.

Together, in any combination, they provide infinite opportunities of experiences. To those more familiar with Parul’s life, upon first glance, ‘Sweet Dreamzz’ can be easily be misconstrued to refer to the unfortunate miscarriage that the artist was harrowed by at the time; or perhaps inadvertently, the wound surfaced through this work anyway.
