Existential Impressions, 2023

In Existential Impressions, Simran Yagyik turns to the charcoal medium to render the silent weight of repetition. The work delves into the loop of routine, where different selves intertwine in the repeated act of sleeping. Each night becomes both an escape and a return, a space where rest blurs with entrapment, and the bed becomes not only a site of renewal but also a marker of monotony. The smudged textures of charcoal echo this ambivalence; its deep shadows and fragile lines capturing the uneasy rhythm of cycles that begin again before they ever feel complete. The work hovers in that liminal zone where solace and suffocation coexist, where stillness is as much burden as it is balm. This tension is central to Yagyik’s wider practice, which often lingers on the fragile interplay between order and disorder, presence and absence. Here, the looping of sleep becomes a metaphor for the unresolved rhythm of the ordinary, where comfort collides with restlessness. It offers a meditation on what it means to live within repetition, suggesting that even in the most banal cycles, we encounter traces of longing, fragility, and the quiet persistence of being.
