Bollywood On A Matchbox Wood Other Painting

This work stages memory as an archive: miniature Bollywood posters float like luminous relics within a disciplined grid of filmstrips, turning the wall into a silent cinema where narrative is sensed more than seen. The stark white ground and repeated sprocket frames create a rhythmic emptiness that both honors and erases—suggesting how cultural icons survive as fragments, suspended between devotion and forgetting. Each burst of saturated color reads as a heartbeat against the cool mechanical order, implying that emotion and myth continually seep through the apparatus meant to contain them. In this tension between spectacle and structure, the piece becomes a meditation on nostalgia’s editing room, where personal longing and collective history are spliced into the same reel.
