The spirit of the Mumbai monster lives in small things: street toys, roadside clothes, pavement bookstores...
This is a spirit of flux and fetish: crazily creative, instantly inventive, brazenly bizarre…
In the screaming race through concrete and tar, metal and glass, maddening crowds and traffic snarls, its these little angels that compel you to live.
These objects of desire, full of life force, seduce you like a sexy whore from under the bridge, behind the street corner, inside the subway… Pimped at the traffic signals and local trains, in parks and beaches... at throwaway prices... you give in, discarding your pretense and glowing with the Mumbai pride.
These pieces are inspired by and created with little gems picked along my many wanderings through the city. These become the adornments of the goddesses of Mumbai – our protector angels.
