The celebrated piece, ‘The Gilded Trap’, is a testament to the fusion of cultures and the artist’s talent and mastery. This highly original 3D work covers centuries of traditions. Significantly, it rests within the Moghul period, when taar-kashi (gold thread work) was at its height. Its fragility and delicate weave are deceiving, as the Gilded Trap is an object of beauty hiding painful experiences, based upon the traditional Indian story of “The Golden Cage."

Artist: Amarjeet Kaur Nandhra
