Princess Pea: Born Out Of Fire
A new body of work, including the performance piece Born Out of Fire, is a continuation of previously explored ideas weaving together narratives of contemporary gender stereotypes with mythologies of the feminine. This creates an as yet, untold story of the 鈥榳oman鈥�.
A continuation of the series 鈥楶ecked Jostled and Teased鈥�, the installation and performance in this chapter uses specific elements such as Turmeric, that have cultural and socio-political connotations, in the telling of this tale of the 鈥榠deal鈥� feminine.
In this chapter, Princess Pea reinstates herself as Princess Draupadi, the 脕gnijyotsana. Using turmeric, a household staple that cures and purifies, Princess Pea alludes to the symbolic birth of Draupadi from Fire - an element, that reflects the warrior princesses character as all-consuming and never stagnant. Fire is also Gold and so Princess Pea, embodies the idea of 鈥楽oney ki Chidiya鈥�, the golden daughter. Juxtaposed with 鈥楴eel鈥�- the Blue pigment, Princess Pea also illustrates the relationship between Draupadi and Krishna. 鈥楤lue鈥� is all pervasive and omni-potent installing
