About Neela
A practice that has evolved through an ongoing exchange between art and architecture, Neela's work incorporates parallel modes of inquiry—space and form, particles and matter, her work focuses on energy, transitions, and how we perceive the way time is encountered—through a process grounded in observation and iteration, she's developed an evolving work that tests the boundaries between the ephemeral and the defined, the seen and the unseen.
Frequencies
After suffering profound loss, the desire to search for meaning through art became a form of meditation—an exploration of frequencies that are a distinct dynamic imprint in time, and of signals that remain with us.
Studies
Using water color pencils to sketch studies for Signals and Frequencies was an important part of processing grief, while also working to give form to emotions.
