" Poetically, Smiha Kapoor’s body imagery in relation to landscape fundamentally subjugates a colonial and male gaze into an act of rebellion. In her images she transposes her body curled that of a fetal in various landscapes.
Disrupting the objectification of the female body and the image with the recesses within the environment to emphasize societal conditions within the female body, she recontextualizes and juxtaposes perhaps jarringly as extensions of power and a reclamation of space it inhabits. "
