Childhood Series 1

Artist Overview:

Sreya weaves a sanctuary for the child the body has outgrown, transforming the heavy artifacts of memory—old clothes, forgotten toys, and the “fierce love” of innocence—into a magical world where the sky and sea are as vast as human desire. Her work is a poignant rebellion against the gravity of adulthood, capturing the moment where the “mature girl” finds her wings clipped by societal judgment and chooses to fly instead through the canvas. By channeling the “small child’s point of view,” she dissolves the insignificant rules of the man-made world, reclaiming a fearless playfulness that turns darkness into light and nostalgia into a living, breathing celebration of innocence.
