Hitesh Vaidya

Installation (Installation)

In the process of creating this deeply personal body of work, titled Recollecting Memories , artist Hitesh Vaidya repeatedly visited the site of his ancestral home that was destroyed during the devastating earthquakes in Nepal in 2015. Through meticulous paintings on salvaged debris, artefacts, and memories, Vaidya navigates the trauma of being uprooted and re-examines his relationship to a fractured past. This aspect of this installation includes various materials from the artist’s former home, including wooden beams and pillars, door and window panels, stone, and floor and roof tiles.
