During Milan Design Week, Sandhu presents a mix of objects from differents series creating a symbolic living room, where everyday objects tell a larger story. This reflects my exploration of 'home' as a dynamic and politically charged space. His work delves into migration, identity, and displacement. In this installation, objects act as building blocks, reflecting my ongoing journey in reshaping the concept of 'home' and its contents.
A reoccurring material in Sandhu's projects is the use of marble, it symbolizes the journey of uprootedness, evolving from extraction scars to transformative value. This choice mirrors not only the resilience and adaptability of the material but also echoes the parallel journeys of individuals navigating similar paths.
Inderjeet Sandhu's practice revolves around the concept of 'home' as a dynamic and politically charged arena where personal, societal, and cultural dynamics intersect. Through design, he crafts objects that delve into the complexities of migration, identity, and displacement.
I explore the interplay of cultures within and beyond a home's boundaries, connected to my own sense of belonging and cultural influences. I employ objects as tools to unveil the political power within domestic environments. These objects and installations function as vessels for the migration of techniques and materials, leading to the dismantling and reinterpretation of familiar home elements.
