“Formerly, I more closely identified with lovelorn nocturnal moths with singed wings. Here in this portrait TextaQueen moth-ers me: They manifest my own rebirth with all the land, sea and myth-space powers of a siren-like presence, inviting temptation yet guarding my strengths and seeing through limitations with a powerful flick of my tail.” 

– Shama Kanna, Bollywouldn’t

ID: A daytime photo of rustic old Windsor Castle with a mural of a small-bodied light skin south Asian person, belly pregnant with a lit candle. Below, flames rise around a flame-filled title ‘SHAMA’ and smaller red words ‘THE FLAME’  near mustard outlines of dead moths. Various coloured moths swarm around her, moving towards her candle-belly. The person’s skin is tinted blue / greens on left and yellow / ambers on right with streaks radiating from her of these colours in deeper hues, against a purple background.
