inside and outside the pond

We get up to numerous activities and mischief inside and outside our houses, homes, or our safe spaces. These happenings can range from the mundane to the extraordinary.
'inside and outside the pond' is simply that: a form of symbolism that blends the mundane with imagination. Ducks are presented from taking their portraits or a casual bathroom selfie to floating in the sky with humans and exploring the galaxy.
This body of work appreciates the everyday nature of life - its tasks, experiences, rituals, sadness, loss, yearning and moments of love - alongside a longing to explore fantasy scenes and possibilities that are out of reach.
Jayshal Gajjar (b.1999) is a Cape Town born artist who completed her Bachelor in Contemporary Art at the Cape Town Creative Academy in 2020. Her mixed media works are inspired by humour, storytelling, colour, and the importance of finding comfort in one's identity. She explores many themes including connection between people, individual connection, and various forms of intimacy (be it platonic or romantic).
Bollywood woman characters and the representation of love within these movies are also other themes that are often present in many of her works. The combination of spontaneous narratives and quirky storytelling is a method to display the diverse ways of affection and intimacy that is evident in many of her pieces. The mediums Gajjar works in are mixture of painting, drawing, sculpture, textile, and fabric work.
