Untitled: Hanisha

Hanisha is a graphic designer who has been freelancing as an illustrator for three years now. Known for her women-centric art projects, Hanisha experiments with an installation that thematically questions the social structures present within the dock. “While researching and studying the dock, I saw that the women would sit around the crates and do their work. The environment created by these crates made the women look subdued and boxed.”

Using this imagery, the artist creates a similar environment that the viewer can walk into to reflect and understand the position of these women. On the contrary, the strong sense of belonging and of womanhood is taken forward by the cosy shape of the installations and the illustrated elements that are suspended from the ceiling and pasted around the crates.
