The work comprises of 64 prints of close-up shots of different body parts carrying multiple names stamped on them. The pictures attempt to trace the scars/marks on the body that can be said to be both inherited as well as adopted.The body here is treated as a document on which the identity of the individual is stamped; the complex web forming an interlaced mosaic evoking our cramped social networks where bodies co-exist and collide. The nature of that collision is determined by the identities of the colliding bodies. This photo-piece touches upon some of these ideas but formally speaking it will rely on the intricate interplay of the stamped text, the skin tones and colours to create a visually sensual land(body)scape.<a onclick="javascript:ReverseContentDisplay('uniquename'); return false;" href="#" style="color:#888888;">...hide</a>
