Struggle- A possibility of evoking an emotion or thought process connects to my theme of sharing narratives of women’s oppression and survival.

"The Unheard Voice" blends 3D sculpture, sound art, and performance art. This piece is based on Kripa's  experience of being a woman living in a male-dominated society.  The Unheard Voice creative process involves the development of conceptual, visual, audio, and vocal sound effects.  By minimising the use of hand gestures  performed in Indian classical dance , she has expanded the scope of communication to her audience without any cultural barriers.

Ashtanayika discusses eight forms of Nayikas or heroines classified by Bharatamuni in his treatise on performing arts, Natyashastra (Sanskrit text on performing art). The eight nayikas represent eight distinct states (avastha) concerning their hero or Nayaka.
