Entangled Flow is a video projection onto a curved wooden screen with stereo sound. The work is not intended to have a start or beginning, rather is supposed to be continuously playing in a loop to mimic an endless scroll.

In my research, I was interested in the concept of ecological borders and the liminal space between land and water. In theory, the concept of a clearly drawn line/border between a waterbody and land is impossible but in political reality the government bodies in Delhi have been distributed into land and water without any overlap. Ecology is political and is entangled within systems of power and ownership. There is a lack of consideration for the water cycle within urban architecture. the natural flow of water is restricted, bordered and forced to transform. This leads to long term effects like an increase in rainfall, water pollution, floods, and droughts. Within an urban hydrological cycle water is continusly displaced and often lost. My work is an attempt to translate this research into something tangible.

A key video element here is zooming in and out of videos. As the video zooms in it becomes more ambiguous and obscure. I find this very interesting as although zooming gives an impression of getting closer to the image, it does not however make the image clearer ; the image slowly blurs and becomes more difficult to understand. This explores the idea of limited access, gatekeeping by the politically powerful, borders and restrictions to the exploration of the water and land. It also alludes to the element of the unknown in relation to the more-than-human, challenging the human centred dominance in our relationship with the land and water.
