Mahim’s conceptual thinking is peppered with interesting words, like “challenge,” “half- buried histories,” and “ancestral.” A Ph.D candidate working in Shanghai, Mahim is an impressively careful artist - with his message, his thought-process and the deeply rooted philosophy that goes into conceptualisation and construction of his work. His work is centred around water, with its fluidity of movement, its impermanence, its temperamental flow and ebb - its importance to civilisation, since the beginning of time. This intense thought process reflects the depth of Jana’s practice, and its ties with the delicacy and pliability of thread, ties with the past, and the future.
