Savia Mahajan’s project titled “Resurgō” includes works that build on her exploration of ideas of life, death and rebirth, that she began working on in 2014, with the ongoing “Lithified lives” series. Savia reflects on concepts of impermanence, resurgence and the interstices that exist between the eternal polarities of life and death.
In her sculptural books from the “ResurgŌ series”, Savia has focused primarily on a green colour palette, moving away from a set of diverse experiments with minerals that result in a wide spectrum of colours. The green, which also comes from a range of experimentations with materials, is representative of Mahajan’s investigation into the ideas of growth and resurrection arising from the liminal space.
