The blinded paradox

mixed media

During the regime of kings in Nepal, it is

said that members of the royal family

kidnapped girls from homes to seduce and

rape them. As an outcome, every house

with a daughter had a typical type of

window known as "Ankhi Jhyal" which

blocked the view inside the house. In this

artwork, I represent the irony in Nepalese

culture, in which the kings freely raped

women but also worshiped a living

Goddess, Kumari. Through this piece, I want to

question their hypocrisy and the patriarchal

Nepalese society.
