About The Artist

Palak Modi is a New Delhi-based visual artist whose practice investigates how material and technological systems shape the construction of selfhood. Her work addresses the psychological and structural conditions of living within technologically mediated environments, questioning how autonomy is negotiated in an era increasingly defined by algorithmic influence and digital reduction.

Her practice evolved from earlier inquiries into impermanence toward an examination of how the self is constructed and recalibrated across physical and virtual realities. She is concerned with the ways cognition, memory, and self-perception become entangled with external systems designed to optimize and automate human behavior.

Through her work, she reflects on the tension between control and agency, examining how individuals attempt to reclaim authorship within frameworks that continuously quantify and redefine them.

She presented her solo exhibition Silhouettes of Shards, curated by Manan Shah at Bikaner House, New Delhi (2025), and has participated in group exhibitions including Dhoomimal Gallery (New Delhi), and Abir India (Ahmedabad). Her work has been featured on platforms such as Artsy, Artsper, Terrain.art, Abirspace, and Abir Pothi. She lives and works in New Delhi.
