One of the largest works in the exhibition, Bharti Kher’s monumental bronze articulates a plethora of female identities. Warrior, Goddess, Witch, and Angel are fused into a single fantastical being, her rubbery limbs in defiance of the solid metal in which they have been cast, a phantasm dancing to her own internal soundtrack. Kher’s title tips us off that we are in the presence of something that is at once hot-tempered and impulsive yet also composed and cheerful, celebrating the diversity that is, hopefully, available to women everywhere today.
