LITTLE WINGS ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH
Atita Taware creates ephemeral installations working with ceramics, digital video photography and found objects. Her work explores topics of biodiversity degradation, endemic and endangered species, land conversions, and questions on existence. The tenacity of hope drives the ability to achieve goals and fulfil dreams despite great odds. Hope is at the heart of Atita’s assemblage. A variety of elements and forms are employed; insect wings, plants, decaying legumes, married women’s ornaments, neon text, figurines of the Munia bird and visuals are placed within porcelain cages. They embody Atita’s quest to explore and learn about herself through the elements that have taught her about her life over the span of the past years. An element from her previous artwork Changes Within is placed inside one of the cages, symbolically questioning whether to share thoughts and ideas on self-development or, alternatively, to voluntarily withdraw from the outside world, confine oneself and disintegrate.
