Price: POA

Object of Pleasure depicts an abstract Indian woman with a visible face, yet without eyes. She represents any woman moving through daily life, seen but never truly acknowledged. The absence of eyes reflects how society denies her subjecthood, choosing to sexualise her body rather than recognise her humanity. She is looked at, desired, and reduced present, yet deliberately unseen.
