S(peak) is a part of an ongoing series called 'Theatre of the Absurd'.

The digital drawings are an attempt to capture the monotonous daily routine that can be noticed while traveling, interacting, absorbing, reflecting, and repeating!
The animation is played in a loop where the repetition leads to re- flection at some point and questions the absurdity of existence from an existential lens.

S(peak)

‘Quirk Quack’ an animation humorously presents the continuous quacking. It suggests the never-ending chatter that ultimately has its consequences. It also suggests the ‘no-pause’ mode of the creature. 

It draws a parallel between the pace of time and the pace of the speaker in coping with it. The absurd motion suggests the speed with which contemporary lives try to get on. There are several entry points for the observer- that are left to interpretation. 

Quirk Quack

How does it feel to meet oneself in virtual reality?
Am I, Me?

This work is an extension of the project 'Everyday Me' that I started in 2019. Through ‘Everyday me’ I take an opportunity of peeping in-between moments, trying to seize time through moments and jot it down on self-portraits. It captures ‘me’ in that particular time and space and the people and things surrounding me. 

This video was conceptualized in 2020 - The year of pandemic, lockdown, and a lot of virtual meetings. In between these moments, these 'meetings', somehow a personal space seemed to have crumpled. There were questions and conversations like, Is it necessary? Is this a fear of missing out? 

 This is where 'Everyday Me' started a conversation among themselves.
