If you can see me, hold me close is a body of work centered on redefining divinity and reclaiming identity through a personal, self-built spiritual realm. South Indian artist Megha Nair constructs a visual mythology where the past, present, and future exist at the same time, blurring reality with imagined and protective dreamscapes.
The exhibition grew from trauma and resilience to create a safe space for reimagining ideas of sacrality. Made as a ritualistic practice, the works act as tools for the reclamation of self and the transformation of narratives.
Featured Artist
Megha Nair is a Boston-based artist who creates as an act of introspection. She uses painting and mixed media to explore her relationship with the universe.
Blending real life and dreamscapes, she uses vibrant colors and cultural motifs to create radiant ancestral planes and personal mythological worlds where memory and imagination collide, drawing from her own experiences of displacement and disconnection. These surreal realms conceptualize spaces where the past, present, and future live together, allowing us to reimagine our connections to time. Her work is an act of radical self-reclamation over the psyche.
Celebrating resilience and origins as an act of tribute, she encourages others to honor known and unknown generational narratives while also rewriting their own.
