Medium: Watercolor on Stamp Papers
Size: 14 x 20 Inches

Between Presence and Absence 1 in this evocative 14 x 20-inch original, Parul Kaur utilizes vintage Indian stamp paper as a canvas to explore themes of heritage and domesticity. The focal point is a meticulously rendered blue velvet armchair, positioned atop layers of official handwritten script and legal seals. Two small, ghostly figures of women in saris occupy the margins of the composition, symbolizing the quiet presence of those often left out of official historical records.
