Seema Singh Dua's sculptures bring an intriguing blend of realism and emotional depth to Indian contemporary art. Her focus on human relationships, body language, and the independent existence of individuals within those relationships gives her work a unique narrative quality. By emphasizing mudras and body postures, she transforms everyday moments into artistic expressions, where stillness conveys movement, and silence speaks volumes.

Her sculptures, whether of a man reading in different postures or a hand in a blessing pose crafted from copper coins, show a deep understanding of human psychology and material symbolism. The use of copper coins in a mudra suggests a powerful statement on materialism and fearlessness. The influence of music in her art further enhances the expressiveness of her figures, as seen in her rhythmic depictions of musicians, where sound seems to resonate through form.

A striking aspect of her work is how she breaks the inertia of sculpture. Her figures are not just static representations; they carry energy, intention, and subtle movement. Even in everyday scenes, such as a modern heroine sitting on a high chair pointing a finger in the air, her sculptures capture the contradictions of contemporary life—self-assertion, longing, and the quest for authenticity.

The exhibition featuring her mixed-media sculptures, blending metal, fibre, and wood, reveals her engagement with installation art. Through works like ‘Ek Jaam Dosti Ke Naam’, she comments on youth culture and consumerism, blending imagination with reality to spark new dialogues. Her ability to infuse sculptures with life, movement, and social commentary makes her an important voice in modern Indian art.
