GARIMA TRIPATHI

I developed my approach to anxiety through Vipassana which allows one to perceive experience without pathologically reacting to every stimulus. Vipassana led me to create sculptures that transmit the process of unearthing, perceiving, and revealing the inner states of clay as a metaphor for the self. Anxiety repeats as a symptom signalling that something is wrong with our relationship with the world: persisting inequality, ecological catastrophe, and melancholia. Anxiety is another chance to create new relations to our world that are just, creative, and non-narcissistic.
