“‘Yakshi’, the sculpture, as a form signifies a woman’s body. Women have always been a subject of paintings, sculptures and poetry, sometimes over represented and mostly misrepresented, creating and establishing long standing stereotypes.

Here we are in a process of movement art as we attempt to experience ourselves through our own physical attributes with no stereo typing but just sheer acceptance. How many of you have been told to sit up straight or to sit properly while growing up?”, the actress captioned the photo.
