Neha’s works explore the profound meaning behind the architectural histories that exist within every surface, revealing the essence of the countless interactions that have taken place over time. Her work has been greatly influenced by the utilization of paper; with her masterful cutting techniques adding a sense of depth and dimension. She finds inspiration in architectural components, patterns and motifs exploring the concepts of reality, illusion, permanence, and impermanence. Her works embrace the interplay of light and shadow, resulting in a captivating secondary element that adds a touch of transience.
