Universally, each of us embarks on a deeply personal journey in daily navigating our own internal experiences and memories, and making sense of what we discover there. In the solo travelling exhibition Inseparable Fragments, Santosh Korthiwada explores this inner experience through the lens of digital photographic collage. By consciously and subconsciously assembling compositions where his memories become gatherings of disparate yet connected elements and experiences, Korthiwada delves into the intricacies of memory and identity, where the past and present converge, and dreams are built for the future.

 

Through a series of evocative digital collages viewers are invited to traverse the landscapes of Korthiwada’s journey, where memories of life in India and North America blur, fragment, and intertwine, shaping a narrative that can be viewed from both a deeply personal and universally resonant perspective. Each composition includes pieces of the artist's own story, capturing moments of longing, wonder, and imagination. From vivid recollections of distant homelands to quiet moments of introspection in a new (and very old) land, Inseparable Fragments offers a window into the complex emotions that accompany experiences of change, growth, and reflection all rendered through the artist's meticulous digital collages. Through his art, Korthiwada is encouraging viewers to be intentional about contemplating the enmeshed and – inseparable – narratives and journeys we all wander through. We are reminded that our conscious and subconscious experiences inevitably inform the collective futures we dream of
