In the rainforests of Meghalaya, northeast India, where Kriya lived before recently settling in Arles, bamboo rises – a giant grass, naturally hollow, already a container. Kriya Rynjah preserves each thatch through a ritual combining the elements – water, air, sun and fire. She follows the rhythm and curves of the bamboo, slowly sculpting forms that evoke flowers, leaves and organic silhouettes, reminiscent of her native vegetation. Kriya presents a body of work as an intimate exploration of the plant’s anatomy, creating functional objects rooted in their own history of origin. Today, her footsteps take her to the Mediterranean marshes, where the giant reed grows – the cane of Provence. From the jungles of India to the ponds of the Camargue, she continues to listen and follow what the plant, under her hands, wishes to reveal.
