Seeking to delve further into the emotional landscapes of several women in the Ramayana, this project presents as a collection of conversations between seven unlikely pairings. It observes through the eyes of various objects and motifs that surround them as witnesses, and offers glimpses into relationships previously overlooked: the Woman and the confidante she was not aware she had, and the voices that fell through the cracks in the telling.
