My Molten Sky

Solo Exhibition at MPND gallery in Loughborough, UK
21st November 2025 to 21st February 2026

Using black-and-white photography and sculptural installation, Janhavi explores how stories—of place, memory, and loss—are formed, broken apart, and remade. My Molten Sky offers a quiet, radical approach to storytelling—one that holds space for uncertainty, and lets meaning shift rather than settle. The exhibition opens on Friday 21 November 2025 as part of Lboro Lates at Modern Painters, New Decorators in Loughborough.

Through a careful vocabulary of image and object, My Molten Sky brings the emotional and ecological into shared focus. Small, intimate photographs sit alongside sculptural materials that echo and interrupt them. Janhavi’s work—some staged, others spontaneous—drifts between remembering and forgetting. Rather than presenting a single story, meaning lingers in the spaces between images, where it slips, reforms, and returns.

At its heart, the exhibition asks how stories stick. Drawing from the traditions of folklore—repetition, exaggeration, and performative retelling—Sharma builds a loose, location-less mythology. Her images ask: What happened to the birds I used to feed? How do you come back to a place that’s no longer the same? What remains when the world moves faster than your ability to name it?

The making of this project was jointly supported by MPND projects and a bursary from Freelands Foundation UK.
