In the display, ‘Symbolic Embodiment’ of the leaf series explores human identity among scatter leaves. “We’re in our journey to explore our identity. In a leaf, its veins spread in the quest to reach to the leaf rim. The edges confine the boundaries of the leaf, marking a point that forbids further exploration; outside the leaf. However, this doesn’t stop the leaf vein to explore as it continues its journey and spread,” she shared.
