Restless Dreams Jacket
2023
690000 staple pins painstakingly embellished over the blank canvas of a black jacket. For Mayuri, the darkness of the cloth represents the problems and pains that comes from living a life of conformity, the pangs and the cramps that result from being unable to face or break the chains of trauma. And instead of taking that one bold step to free ourselves, we try countless small, insignificant and temporary solutions in vain attempts to free ourselves. We fail to realise that the pain might be concealed but will never vanish on its own – the very efforts we to hide it eventually will start adding weight to our shoulders and will keep pricking as time goes on.
