Ascension is an exhibition about flight-not as escape, spectacle, or conquest, but asan ethical and ecological act. In Sarika Bajaj’s solo exhibition, flying becomes aproposition for freedom that resists the extractive logics of patriarchal power andenvironmental exploitation. Situated within the intensifying realities of climate crisis,biodiversity loss, and material exhaustion, Ascension reimagines upward movementas a form of care: a way of rising that remains accountable to the earth rather thandetached from it.
