JANA JACOB

Jacob’s practice explores intimacy, identity, and the human experience through meticulously rendered portraits. Often depicting nudes in domestic settings, she emphasizes the universality and vulnerability of the human figure, inviting a deeper emotional connection beyond societal constructs. In recent years, Jacob has turned to self-portraiture, incorporating household objects and traditional Thai textiles to examine the intersection of personal history and contemporary identity. Through this synthesis, her work navigates themes of heritage, memory, and the fluidity of cultural expression.
