About the Artwork +

This artwork explores the bond between women and the Moon. Eight Cheriyal masks of feminine faces encircle a full moon, each reflecting a phase of its cycle - from the New Moon’s quiet reflection to the Full Moon’s joy, and the waning phases of gratitude, wisdom, and rest.

Across traditions, the Moon has been a symbol of femininity, intuition, and renewal. Through Cheriyal mask’s vivid storytelling, this artwork portrays the shifting moods and strengths of women, echoing the rhythms of nature and life itself.
This artwork celebrates the timeless bond between women and the Moon, expressed through eight Cheriyal masks of feminine faces encircling a radiant full moon at the centre. Each mask represents a lunar phase, reflecting the changing moods, energies, and wisdoms of women, while also embodying the archetypal rhythms of life itself.

From the New Moon’s quiet reflection to the Waxing Crescent’s hope, the First Quarter’s determination, the Full Moon’s joy, and the Waning phases of gratitude, wisdom, and rest - the masks capture the diverse emotional landscapes and roles women inhabit, mirroring the Moon’s cyclical journey of beginnings, growth, culmination, and release.

Across traditions, the Moon has been revered as a symbol of femininity, intuition, and renewal, as well as a cosmic guide to time, nature, and human life. By reimagining its phases as women’s expressions in Cheriyal style, this piece honors women as carriers of resilience and nurturers of life, while also serving as a meditation on cycles - reminding us that every phase, whether shadowed or luminous, carries its own beauty and necessity.

Here, the Moon is not just a celestial body, but a reflection of the ever-shifting, ever-powerful feminine spirit and the eternal rhythms of existence.

Sai Kiran Dhanalakota blue-tick

Sai
   Sai Kiran, a 33-year-old artist, is credited with carrying on the history of the Dhanalakota family, the last practising family for Cheriyal Scroll painting. A 160-year-old Cheriyal scroll painted by his great-great grandpa is also on display in a museum in Paris, providing insight into his family's past. With the market for Cheriyal scrolls decreasing, his parents advised him to study rather than pursue painting, but Sai Kiran obtained a degree in fine arts to acquire new art techniques to modernise and make his work relevant in today's times. He wishes the Cheriyal scroll painters knew more about the stories they are painting, because the storytellers for these paintings are autonomous and add their own colour to the stories, but he makes an attempt to study these stories, and his personal favourite is Gaurapuranama's, about Toddy Tappers (Wine tappers). 'We replace our phones every year, our phone covers every two months, change is such a constant, therefore our work needs to stay up with it and adapt,' Sai Kiran says.
