This series of Meera’s most recent C-prints creates an atmosphere that elicits a sense of loss or vulnerability in relationships, be that between individuals and/or the spaces they occupy. Despite the fact that certain images portray a solitary individual, the presence of another is always felt.

Working with a large format camera, Meera develops her narratives using elements of material culture (the clothing one wears, the art on one’s walls) as clues to interpreting her characters. Notions of tableau, portraiture, and staged photography are evoked. Acknowledging that we live in a society that is consumed by reality television and obsessed with social trespass, Meera creates a mise-en-scene that allows viewers access into others’ spheres.
