My Molten Sky is a solo exhibition by artist Janhavi Sharma. Using black-and-white photography and sculptural installation, Sharma explores how stories—of place, memory, and loss—are formed, broken apart, and remade. My Molten Sky offers a quiet, radical approach to storytelling—one that holds space for uncertainty, and lets meaning shift rather than settle.

Through a careful vocabulary of image and object, My Molten Sky brings the emotional and ecological into shared focus. Small, intimate photographs sit alongside sculptural materials that echo and interrupt them. Sharma’s images—some staged, others spontaneous—drift between remembering and forgetting. Rather than presenting a single story, the works linger in the spaces between images, where meaning slips, reforms, and returns.

At its heart, the exhibition asks how stories stick. Drawing from the traditions of folklore— repetition, exaggeration, and performative retelling—Sharma builds a loose, location-less mythology. Her images ask: What happened to the birds I used to feed? How do you come back to a place that’s no longer the same? What remains when the world moves faster than your ability to name it?

Janhavi Sharma is an artist working across photography, installation, and sculpture. Her practice explores fictions as a means of building identities, navigating change, and unsettling fixed notions of place, memory, gender, and ecology. Sharma has exhibited in the UK and internationally, including projects at New Art Exchange (Nottingham), Backlit Gallery (Nottingham), Photo Access (Australia), and Les Rencontres d’Arles (France). She is currently based in Mumbai, India.
