Worth Its Weight, is a body of work that focuses on Monica’s personal relationship to Indian Jewellery and its power in bridging a connection to my Indian heritage. Rooted in the significant events where certain pieces have either been lost, gifted or taken away, Monica draws on how these totemic objects unite her with her distant family who live overseas, and a culture that she feels disconnected from. The significance of these objects is exemplified through scale and repetition which act to memorialise these familial heirlooms and give permanence to oral histories.
