Rushabh Vishwakarma’s practice stems from his intimate experience of spoken language, customs, and objects, and their co-relation with the land. The bent, purposefully re-formed tools are a forceful and gritty in their attempt to disclose the affectiveness of a physical and psychological collapse of home. His lightbox panel looks at the role of language with the nature-nurture relationship within the context of home-land.
