Hema Shironi recurrently uses grided structures resembling construction material, to mediate conversations on the structural aspects of a house. The series, ‘If You Rent You Don’t Own’ from the exhibition ‘Families ‘Not’ In the List’, is an ongoing inquiry that delves into the intricate relationship between memory and identity. The artist also observes the way in which these projects enforce uniformity for the sake of convenience, diminishing the identity of the individual within these vibrant and eclectic communities.
