About Work
Preeti Sood’s practice is rooted in photography, which she uses as both foundation and sketchbook to explore themes of cultural identity, dislocation, and memory. Her work reflects her experience as an émigré, evoking ideas of erasure, redaction, and decomposition—not to obscure, but to reveal traces of absence and transition. Over the past decade, she has developed a body of work that navigates loss and transformation, tied closely to the emotional landscape of migration.
Sood integrates traditional printmaking with digital methods, a fusion she terms “Tradigital.” Currently, she explores the revival of printed Bazaar Art using emerging technologies and experimental materials. This intersection of tradition and innovation is central to her research within the Transformative Matter, Material Trace drawing group.
