concept note
Feminine Fairies is a contemplative exploration of the everyday hustle and the poetic imagination that quietly shapes a woman’s inner and outer worlds. Through this body of work, Rajini Rekha presents women not as mythical beings detached from reality, but as luminous presences rooted deeply in lived experience—balancing resilience, tenderness, and silent strength.
The artworks emerge from the intersection of reality and imagination, where the ordinary becomes lyrical. Domestic spaces, familial bonds, and natural elements transform into symbolic landscapes, reflecting the emotional and psychological terrain of women’s lives. These “fairies” are not ethereal escapes; they are grounded figures who carry memory, labor, care, and hope within them.
Nature appears as an extension of the feminine spirit—trees, earth, water, and sky mirroring inner states of growth, endurance, and renewal. Family, both as comfort and responsibility, weaves itself into the visual narrative, shaping identities and rhythms of daily existence. The poetic language of the works invites viewers to pause, observe, and feel the quiet beauty embedded in routine moments.
Through serene compositions and evocative imagery, Feminine Fairies offers a gentle yet powerful perspective on womanhood—one that honors imagination as a survival tool and poetry as a way of seeing. The exhibition celebrates women as creators of meaning within chaos, transforming the mundane into moments of grace, reflection, and transcendence.
