“Ma” is an immersive video installation exploring how the passage of time affects movement.

​The silhouettes of two South Asian dancers of different generations, Rita Nezami and Naqiya Choonawala, were recorded and presented through shadow dance (a meaningful memory honoring my mother). The original footage is then projected onto a maze of sarees, draped in a gallery space to create an immersive environment. The viewers of the installation experience these ethereal dancers layered into the space, transitioning from youth to old age. As the viewers walk through the installation, they witness their own shadows moving alongside the dancers, creating a dynamic visual conversation between those present and absent. 

 Exhibited in multiple galleries in New York.
