Draupadi's story highlights her fragile autonomy and the strength she carries as armour, transforming vulnerabilities into power and resilience. In the Mahabharata, she endures humiliation, particularly during the dice game, as her husband’s gamble her away. My work uses delicate materials to symbolise her inner fortitude and precarious situation, emphasising her dignity and femininity.
