Title: Emergent Terrain // Artist: Sonal Goorha
about the piece
| Mixed Media (volcanic rock, artist-printed paper, and acrylics on canvas) Sonal Goorha is a mixed media artist from Maryland whose work explores identity, connection, belonging, and the tension between beauty and instability through layered paper, printmaking, and found materials gathered from her neighborhood and community. As a mother, mountaineer, engineer, and martial artist, she draws inspiration from landscapes shaped by water, lava, erosion, and movement, creating tactile abstract works that feel both ethereal and untamed. Through vivid color, texture, and organic forms, her practice blends gentleness with chaos while holding space for both the pain and beauty of life. |
