With charcoal as her primary medium, her practice traces the material through its many states: from powder to liquid and back to solid again, shifting at every stage. Mahalakshmi’s interest lies in what the material holds onto after enduring the different processes and the memory carried through its shapes, cracks, edges, and textures.

Where charcoal once served as metaphor in her previous works, here the material takes its own shape and is shown bearing the tension and traces of everything it has been through.
