Gauri adds, "Through the pictures I've captured, be it Dehleez, Layers of Time, Dream Projection, Love and Conquest, or Threading Through Colors and more, I aim to challenge binaries, contemplate the multifaceted nature of existence, and delve into the creative act of making a place in a city that offers limited space. I shed light on the often overlooked contributions and sacrifices of mothers, explore the tranquility found in one's work, and delve into the intimate relationship between workers and the materials they shape, among other themes."
