There's a yellow lantern in my room

Dua describes her work as a personal expression of her surroundings and familial experiences. Her drawings and paintings are often reimagined depictions of archival photos as a way to revisit her memories and recreate those images. She plays with floral and textured patterns seen in her home, assorted compositions and a darker colour palette to convey a sense of melancholy and longing for people who are not present in her life anymore. Note: This is an unframed painting.
