Have you ever lain on your couch, staring lifelessly into the void? While you are at it, an imperceptible bond forges between the mind and the physical limits of its surroundings. It’s this unseen symbiosis of living in one’s habitat, that Mona Sharma captures in her painting exhibition: ‘A Mind Within a Space.’ 

Running at Kala Ghoda till November 19, the exhibition comes from a place of curiosity. “It is an attempt to unravel the intricate relationship we share with our intimate world — that which houses us — and the interplay of this ever-evolving bond,” shares Mona, a multidisciplinary artist whose practice revolves around lived experiences and the idea of a home. 

Within the series of 13 paintings, spaces change to evoke a sense of unease and restlessness. With chapters like “Stay Calm”, “It’ll Pass Soon”, and “Are you OK” – the imageries portray a longing to feel at ease, as individuals quietly grapple with the weight of being still, unwittingly believing in the process and living life on the edges.
