I work on objects that form a part of my lived experiences and try to provide them a new piece of identity which they might have lost. According to me time reminds us our good and bad phases. Every colour, stroke, line and form is released from our subconscious mind and is a gift of time—as the great Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky put it succinctly “time lost, spent or not yet had. For me, new media has been a way to explore and to bring into focus the everyday objects and transform them into a work of art. I try to give each object I work with a new identity, a rebirth of sorts.

Curator Charulata Mukherjee says

The strong desire of embracing happiness in presence of pain and adorning the abandoned plays an important role in Ketiya Bhandecha’s work. The neon, glitter and decorative materials symbolize the search of joy. The forms are devoid of any gender, class or caste. It is not only an observed reality but also the imagined hyper reality of the artist.  Imagination enters in and it’s about letting the subjective self which we can’t avoid, colour our perception of the external world. Ketiya tries to communicate a vision of hope and a space beyond squalid world. Everything that is around us has its own eternity which cannot be overlooked or neglected because of our urban pragmatism.
