PERMI JHOOTI | DIGITAL ARTIST

Throughout my sporting life, all people asked –

What’s it like to be a woman, what’s it like to be Indian?

Meaningless questions when all I cared for was what it felt to play football.

In my work, I strip gender, age, race from my subjects.

I capture what remains when one dances, plays, moves, just is.

And from this I create my art.

And no-one ever asks if the dancer, the fighter, whomever in my print, was a woman, or Indian, or anything really.

Because that was never the point.
