HEMA UPADHYAY, When the Bees Suck, There Suck I

Hema Upadhyay was born in Baroda, India in 1972. She died in 2015 in Mumbai, India.
His work has often covered the themes of immigration to large cities, and is constantly linked to “urban chaos”. In his works, the artist speaks of the social and cultural changes that have affected most of the metropolitan cities of Mumbai, the megalopolis destination of large masses of immigrants in India, and area of recent construction of countless new neighborhoods, locations of striking contrasts in the sign of the immutability of castes.
