Intezaar (Waiting)
A woman rests on a rooftop terrace beneath a full moon, eyes closed, leaning into the night. A carved jali screen and a domed chhatri frame the scene, while a clay diya, a brass ewer and scattered rose petals sit beside her. Drawing on the Punjabi tradition of intezaar, the patient longing for someone far away, the piece imagines the rooftop as a private space for memory and anticipation, suspended between the old city and the open sky.
The Girl with the Lantern

The scalloped arch and geometric panels come from the havelis of the Walled City, where light was carried by hand from room to room. The lantern becomes a quiet symbol of memory itself, something fragile that must be held up and kept alive across generations
