Sakshi’s practice explores the body as a site of memory, resilience, and transformation through painting, mixed media, and installation. Merging bodily forms with organic elements, her work reflects on inherited memories, gendered experiences, and the politics of the female body. Through layered textures and symbolic imagery, she creates contemplative spaces that explore growth, endurance, vulnerability, and renewal.
