A French artist in residence at Dhi Artspace Gallery from October 10 to November 21 was invited by the BAM Project as part of the cooperation agreement between Bordeaux-Métropole and the state of Telangana.

Born on Reunion Island in 1998, Sara grew up in a multicultural society with a thousand and one identities, including South Indian ones. Passionate about arts and self-expression through them, Sara tried her hand at theatre, singing, contemporary, and Indian dance and finally found her calling in the visual arts. She decided to move to Metropolitan France to complete her artistic training at Bordeaux Montaigne University, where she obtained a MA in Visual Arts Research in 2021. Since then, she has been living and working in Bordeaux, taking part in group exhibitions, public interventions, residencies, and art festivals.

As a visual artist, Sara works on raw, voluminous, and conceptual installations. She likes to play with the variety of shapes and heights by presenting suspensions and stacks and by spreading different materials. She mainly uses salvaged materials: soil, water, salt, used clothes, debris, bricks, iron, metal, etc.—those are some of the elements Sara links to her own questioning of existence and metaphysics. Combining natural and industrial materials that could be the symbols of life, death, spirituality, and sacred, Sara’ installations can be comprehended by “everyone, regardless of one’s age or culture.”
