Yellow Mermaid

“I would love an unpolluted world blossoming with wildflowers,”says Hima Hariharan, who doesn’t reject the idea of the man-made world but feels more empathy for the natural one. This series reflects the artist’s fascination with the natural world, textures, and colours while also emphasising the self-reflective process of making the paper using natural materials. Through this, she perceives the links between her surroundings and her inner self.

This work was displayed as part of Sarmaya’s exhibition – ‘In the Dappled Light’ (29th March – 4th May 2025)
