Working across installation, digital, sculpture, print and drawing, she uses form and structure to interpret how we engage with the world; examining the invisible social, cultural and biological forces that shape our experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA block-font-kerning-normal block-font-feature-liga-off block-font-feature-clig-off block-font-feature-calt-off direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eCentral to her work is a meditative process of questioning, drawing, cutting and making, leading to a personal visual language, which often takes the form of nets, strong yet permeable structures that symbolise the balance between societal constraints and personal fluidity. These represent connection but also the intricate web of influences that define us. Their permeability reflects the potential for both transformation and resistance within the constructs that shape our lives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA block-font-kerning-normal block-font-feature-liga-off block-font-feature-clig-off block-font-feature-calt-off direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eAs a first-generation Australian of Indian heritage, her work often addresses themes of cultural identity and assimilation. This personal narrative intersects with broader themes of colonisation and migration. She aims to uncover the unseen forces, whether inherited, imposed or self-imposed that influence us and explores how we navigate and reshape these influences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford Street Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52007688208600,"sku":"SG001","price":3450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/1598\/4856\/files\/shanti-full.jpg?v=1784766578","url":"https:\/\/oxfordstgallery.com\/products\/distal-by-shanti-gelmi","provider":"Oxford Street Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
