Sabaah

Sabaah is a recently graduated artist based in Delhi, with a bachelor’s degree in fine art from OP Jindal Global University. Over the past year, she has been slowly and intuitively shaping her artistic practice one that is grounded in material exploration and some form of inquiry. Her approach is led by a curiosity towards how the self encounters the world through making.

Clay is her personal favourite, which she describes as feeling like dough earthy, pliable, and unpredictable. Her interest in materials often becomes the entry point into larger questions. She works with a wide range of mediums: text, oil on fabric, gouache on plastic wrappers, clay, wood, papier-mâché, and even food. Each one speaking its own language, each one inviting a different kind of response. These mediums are not just tools, but collaborators in her search for meaning.

Her practice often begins with tactile engagement but doesn't end there. Dialogues with herself and with others further shapes her physical engagements into intangible works that have a possibility to keep changing and developing. For Sabaah starting with the medium itself brings about many questions that get converged into full-fledged inquiries interesting enough for her to ask.
