Sweety works with different type of papers , Mirrors and she is inspired by the nourishing quality of fire. Fire, for her, is a transformative principle coffers of nature. Sweety details the method of her art by associating the act of burning to a transformative, progressive and positivist actShe uses burnt dots on paper to imply the different aspects of her personal travails through life. She takes inspiration from the eternally unfolding colours in a flame and injects it into her art by using different folding and rolling techniques of coloured papers that are burnt.
Subsequently she kept on refining her own visual and conceptual vocabulary that emerged through her obsession with mixed media and environmental work . In these 5 years she has done lot of experiments in digital media also.
