The flag is made out of clothes, new clothes stitched for those that are missing; those that cannot be forgotten and still wander around us.
Shilpa Gupta creates artwork using interactive video, websites, photographs, objects, sound and public performances to probe and examine subversively such themes as desire, religion, notions of security on the street and on the imagined border. She has initiated Aar Paar – a public art exchange project between India and Pakistan. She lives and works in Mumbai. Express yourself: leave a comment on the article telling us what you think.

The work deals with the loss of people in a conflict, the self and the nation and the impossibility of borders. In the photograph, a woman stands at attention, sometimes marching, almost forced, a flag punctured through her self.
