Between Fear and Freedom

Fear and freedom, omnipresent emotions, wield the power to define us. Through the medium of portraiture, Satyavani embarked on a compelling journey to delve into these emotions, unraveling myriad stories within our community. Each participant's portrait was a collaborative venture, with Satyavani capturing their essence while attentively listening to tales of fear and the nuanced meanings of freedom during the hour-long sessions.

For this project Satyavani choose to go beyond her customary realm of classical oil portraiture, choosing a medium that could aptly convey their stories. The shift demanded her to grasp new artistic mediums, in a limited time thus making herself vulnerable to judgment in the pursuit of authenticity.
