ABOUT
Reinterpreting everyday materials—such as steel, wood, and personal artifacts from her upbringing—Rajput reveals the subtle tensions and dangers embedded in the mundane. By concealing or embedding her body within these materials, she implicates the viewer in moments of discomfort where vulnerability transforms into a source of power. Her cryptic, alluring installations challenge perceptions of belonging, displacement, and intimacy, questioning who is permitted to exist freely in space and who must resist to remain visible.
“In my work, endurance is neither victory nor loss, but simply existence.”
Born in India and based in Providence, RI, Rajput holds an MFA in Sculpture from Boston University and serves as a board member of Unbound Visual Arts Gallery in Boston.
