Achidu brings together two artists from Arunachal Pradesh to explore how nature transforms and sometimes destroys what is silver-lined over time. Duti Umpe and Revika Burang draw from cultural and personal experiences to show this fragile transformation.
In Duti's work, pork fat melts in the gallery's temperature, symbolising gradual loss and echoing traditions such as burning parts of the jhum field to mark age. This melting becomes a reminder of how time erodes both memory and meaning.
Revika's fabric clouds release crystal bead 'rain'—the other kind of melting. Tears. The soft breaking-down that happens within. Light and vulnerability align, showing how relief and pain blend into each other.
