Mehra eleborates on her work “Critiquing & looking rhythmically at our environment, into our newage, driven with the dogmas of growth & development, I use foundimages from our day to day life, from daily newspapers, magazines & images from my current environment.

My observation is that something is not rotten in the state but in the viscera of civil society, in our system. I am questioning the notion of progress with the stubborn opposition and the stance of a protester.”
