Zeenat Nagree writes “ Reimagining the meaning of being 'adrift at sea', Devika Sundar presents the
internal expanse of the human body as aqueous forms that are unbound and untethered. In doing so, she
brings out the uncanny echoes between us and bodies of water, in the way that they can be imaged, heard,
and understood. This mode of enquiry emerged from Sundar's experiences with undiagnosed chronic pain and
the research that led to on the differences between medical visualisations in the East and the West.
Sundar found holistic representations that account for the body's ebbs and flows to provide better insight
into the mysteries of its functioning in comparison with the fragmentation of the body into parts and
symptoms as is standard in Western medicine. “
"What remains central, nevertheless, to Sundar's practice is an acknowledgment of the enigmas of the human
body and bodies of water that remain ambiguous and impenetrable.”
