Dhruvi Acharya is a Mumbai-based artist whose works are characterised by psychologically complex narratives, peppered with dark humour. Her works transform human-forms of her mostly female protagonists to echo their temperaments, often deploying empty speech or thought bubbles to convey unspeakable sentiments. Drawing from her own life, Acharya’s oeuvre unravels like a personal diary — it showcases an urban woman’s tribulations in a world seething with gender inequalities, ecological disasters, and emotional upheavals, all portrayed with critical distance.
