A postcard featuring a woman’s face with a moustache, painted by the 14-year-old daughter of a commercial sex worker from Kamathipura, Mumbai, has a message. A QR code behind the postcard, when scanned, reveals that the artist has depicted the dual identity of women in Kamathipura, who have to play the roles of mother and father to their children.
Another postcard, title Intertwined, features stylised flower stalks, with green leaves and bright red petals. The colours are different but the parts of the plant are intertwined by Nature, each with a specific role to play. Yet another postcard, Innocence, shows a child on a swing, symbolising the innocence of childhood, which the artist says she has always craved.
