Artist and architect Meera Chandran makes her face the canvas for her social messages
The Hindu
Meera Chandran has been highlighting current social, political and gender issues through face art
A photograph of her mask covered with flowers was 23-year-old Meera Chandran’s first reaction to the lockdown that began in March 2020. ‘Spread love, not germs’ was the caption that accompanied the picture posted on July 11 last year. The next picture exhorted people to ‘break the chain’ of infections. There was a bunch of unlit matchsticks plastered on her left cheek while the matchsticks on her right cheek were shown burning. The third had a stark warning: ‘Six feet away or six feet under,’ with one side of the photo featuring her face devoid of paint while the other side was painted black.More Related News
