Place
A family ritual turned into a visual language
At the heart of the exhibition is a personal memory from the artist’s grandmother, who used to fill pages every day with the same handwritten mantra. That steady, intentional act informs Tanisha Raj’s own process, where repetition is not a means to reach an end result faster, but a way of allowing meaning to emerge over time.
Technique
Carved panels built through thousands of dents
The works draw from woodcut traditions: Each panel is carved by hand through thousands of deliberate incisions, gradually forming geometric structures reminiscent of mandalas. Up close, the rhythm of the work becomes visible, its precision, its physicality, and the time held within the surface.
Theme
Belonging, built slowly
In this exhibition, belonging is not presented as something immediate or fixed. It is built gradually, through the body, through repetition, through memory. The result is a body of work that brings together tradition and contemporaneity, discipline and fluidity, Berlin and Lisbon.
