This installation has thousands of traditional Indian glass bangles strung together and 101 frames containing broken glass – a metaphor for shattering the proverbial glass ceiling.
- Sarah Cochran (Associate director at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art)
In India, red glass bangles hold symbolic significance as a representation of married women. They are beautiful as adornments, but to me at times they also look
like handcuffs… Interestingly, these bangles are also adorned by fierce goddesses. To me, these strings of bangles resemble networks of women uniting to shatter glass ceilings, a feat that cannot be accomplished alone.
