The series is a meditation on the interconnectedness of all living things, underscoring the idea that, despite the inequalities and greed that may divide us, the Earth remains our shared home, and we are grounded to it, to remain.
Khurasani’s signature woodcut prints feature striking lines and strokes applied at varying frequencies, creating an aesthetic coherence rooted in emotion. The works reflect the time she has spent in her home and studio in the tranquil outskirts of Vadodara, offering subtle details of nature—wild shrubs, uprooted fields, and fresh green grass. Through each impression, layers of skin, flesh, and earth blur together in intricate patterns through a sensitive interplay of texture and form. These elements, which might appear as simple landscapes, are presented as fragile, unsettled bodies in the process of healing and regeneration. They mirror the cycles of life that define the human experience. In these works, Khurasani reveals the delicate flow of emotions where the lost lines, and unsettled imprints create a deep sense of stillness and the uncertainty of life’s constant transformation.2of 2
