As someone with widely different associations with the flower, it was fascinating to see the sensuality and fierceness that the artist brought to the frames, which highlighted the Hibiscus through her unique perspective.
Over a quick chat, Ishani talked about how the Hibiscus reminds her of her home and her mother. Barely 8 months into her move, she admits to often feeling adrift between the heritage city of Delhi that she grew up in, and the teeming city of Mumbai that she is trying to build a home in.
