The artist looks at everything that humans generate from plastic, technology, tradition, stories, ideas, ideologies and even art as trash and attempts to examine the responsibility and accountability that comes with this act of creation.

She creatively subverts stories to address the concept of belief, equity, fairness and ethics in these narratives that often determine the social fabric of our society. Her work also challenges the norms and conventions of identity and womanhood that are often imposed on the female bodies.

Preethi practices managing waste by reusing, recycling and reducing trash in her daily life. She has been vocal about sustainable practices and her advocacy has been an inspiration to many artists.

In ‘Me and My Trash’, Preethi primarily works with the form of Bhartanatyam to ask these contemporary questions thereby challenging its aesthetics and elitism that comes with classicism. This experimental work is bold, witty, insightful and aims to leave the audience with questions about their connection to the self and the environment.
