“perfectly ripe”
Amira Dhanoa’s piece “perfectly ripe” is settled in an area of the VR space where it could breathe a little bit better. perfectly ripe is a physical facet of Amira’s thesis project - which materialized as she was researching how South Asian mother-daughter relationships in the United States are broken, reforemed, and navigated through the lens of food. The original piece is a small-scale prototype cast from plaster.
