Anoushka Mirchandani: Everyone You Love Lives Here presents paintings from three interconnected series — solitary figures at psychological thresholds, domestic interiors charged with emotional tension, and lush Jungle Paintings in which female figures merge with wild landscapes. Situated alongside works by Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, and Lisa Yuskavage, Mirchandani's paintings trace identity as a constant state of flux and negotiation, deeply informed by her diasporic experience moving from Pune, India to the United States and by a matrilineal family archive of images, ephemera, and oral history. In the Jungle Paintings, figures invoke the apsaras of South Asian mythology — shape-shifting women born of mist — envisioning identity formed in concert with the world rather than in conflict with it.
