PANCHA
PANCHA literally translates as “five”. The series draws inspiration from expounding 5 female archetypes in relation to the five elements based on Hindu philosophy – wind, fire, earth, water and aether.
Each work is centered on one element, and each element sets the stage for the female archetype and the exploration. We seek to use the logic of emotion and the consequences of history and cultural environment in PANCHA, and through storytelling to bring awareness towards social issues and highlight social stories.
The works in the series are usually site-based and will unfold over a period of more than five years, enabling MDT and its audience to jointly journey through the explorations.
