Artist Jenjum Gadi's solo exhibition, "Ngok Dolu (My Village)," currently on display at Gallery Vayu in Delhi, offers a unique artistic interpretation of his childhood memories from Arunachal Pradesh. Gadi transforms the landscapes and everyday objects of his village, Tirbin, into striking sculptures crafted from brass. These works are not mere representations but deeply personal translations of lived experiences, blending relationships, architecture, and natural elements into enduring art forms.

Pieces like 'Maaktum Bayom' and 'Lugo,' alongside a large-scale banana plant installation, demonstrate his skill in elevating intimate memories to a public sphere. The exhibition has garnered attention from notable figures in Delhi's cultural circles, including patrons and designers, all engaging with Gadi's distinctive approach to materializing landscape.
