[FASHION] Me with My Mind & A Tapestry of Memories

A performance by visual artist, Niharika Kumar. Where she narrates a situation that is a real conversation between her and her mind. While it heals her in a therapeutic way, it helps the audience step into Niharika’s vulnerabilities. All in an effort to build a world for people to enter and interact with.

In the depths of her mind, she embarked on a journey through the tapestry of memories. She returned to her childhood home, where the air carried the answers. The tapestry unfolded before her, a blanket of emotions. As she touched each thread, the weight of her experiences surprised her. She still carries them.

It was neither burdensome nor light but carried a presence that reminded her of the gravity of her experiences. It seemed to carry the weight of her triumphs and failures, her moments of strength and vulnerability, grounding her in the reality of her own journey.

A conflict between the real self and the facade. A glimpse of what it is to be Niharika when she is existing and just being with her mind. The image of herself is visible to the mortals. The flashes of her, when she is clad in the tapestry, bear the weight of all memories that together she has lived with her mind.
