Introspection presents the work of three young artists from Madhya Pradesh who question the creative process and the functioning of memory.

Unnati Shukla
Through her work, Unnati Shukla seeks to explore human interactions, the dynamics of power and vulnerability, and the subtle nuances that make each relationship unique. Introspection and emotion play a key role in his creative process. The self-taught artist also explores how repetition can embed memories and create patterns that shape our understanding of the world, inviting viewers to consider their memories and how repetition has shaped their experiences.
