Her work forms a mosaic of how she perceives culture and explores varying timelines throughout history in the modern age and representing current trends through the lens of an alternative perspective.
From lived experiences, perceptions to the intense desire and willingness to experience culture, Pracheeta perseveres and explores historical and cultural artistic techniques, various forgotten mediums of the past to known and lesser-known current artistic trends. Reconfiguring current artistic approaches, challenging artistic branding and thematic expressions, an invitation to explore and engage in multifaceted stylistic approaches and explore traditions. Challenging prisoners of ethnocentrism and inviting a form of self-reflective individualism, untainted by complex narratives and restarting from a blank canvas.
