This diptych showcases an important part of my background and culture of being from Gujarat. The first panel portrays a my family at meal time; enjoying various Gujarati snacks and dishes over a round of cards. There is nothing my family enjoys more than food and being competitive over a round of 'Kalithiri' a Gujrati name for then classic game of spades. The second panel portrays my favorite part of visiting my hometown; the endless lanes of shopping at a market. You may have heard of a never-ending target run but the financial impact shopping in India is way worse; but more fun. The main motif on this panel are the Rajasthani dolls that are often used to decorate homes but primarily used during puppet shows. They are often decorated with traditional wear, jewelry, and bold makeup (especially in the eyes).
