Mezok is a collection of interwoven stories shaped into a physical narrative that contemplates desire, a snow-covered mountain, and the intricate systems we inhabit. At the center of the piece is a table with a shelf, and the enigmatic figure of Pavitra Kumar. The table functions as more than a set — it becomes a vessel for exploring the spaces held together by wood, while Pavitra navigates the liminal realms between dreams and reality, language and lullabies, longing and separation along with the bureaucratic red tape that binds it all — an endless labyrinth of forms, identity cards, permits, licenses, addresses, passport numbers, account numbers, block numbers, room numbers, window numbers, token numbers.

The piece does not look to convey the specific details of these stories so much as to use them as provocations evoking a sense of the world that we find ourselves in — a maze of systems, processes numbers as we manoeuvre our way through it carrying our dreams and desires with us like a snow-covered mountain within.
