Dust in the Wind

Summary

Final work

Hi! I’m Moksha, a mixed media artist based in London and Bangalore.

My practice has evolved from children’s book illustration and instructional design into printmaking, portraiture, and sculpture. I use making as a way of thinking, exploring how everyday objects and materials hold memory and emotion.

I’m fascinated by connections between people, objects, and spaces, and how time changes those relationships. My art questions and explores the human quest for belonging and the traces we leave behind to tie ourselves to our past, or more accurately, the familiar.

Where does the old end and the new begin?

Objects hold lived experiences; they weave our past into the physical world, becoming tangible traces of both memory and imagination. Yet objects are never still. They shift and transform over time – just as we do, and as our memories do. Their meanings fade, dissolve, and eventually they become something entirely new.

This mixed-media installation explores this reaction to change, the consequences of time. The search for a place to call home and the transitions we undergo in response to shifting places. It captures the tension between holding on to what is familiar and the quiet curiosity that draws us toward what lies ahead. Slowly, the fragments we once clung to fall away, and the new quietly takes their place, a continual becoming.

Rooted in personal reflections on navigating new places in life, homesickness, nostalgia, and an eventual, unexpected love for life in unfamiliar surroundings, I dwell on the idea of transitional identity: the need to move on, let go, and allow yourself to embrace the new.
