In March and April during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic Unnati Singh and Siddhartha Kararwal, two visiting artists from India, experienced weeks in lockdown unable to return home.
Below is a photo essay by Francis Gomila that serves as a striking record of the artists working through that experience.

PLAN B. Artist Studios is an artist mentoring residency program in which invited artists run a variety of innovative residencies, art encounters, workshops and retreats.
The program was founded and is directed by the artist, Francis Gomila.

 Unnati Singh

Unnati Singh's artworks are an exploration into unfamiliar territories, journeys into uncharted dimensions, which aims to reveal parallel worlds in which conscious and subconscious clash into each other.
Singh lives and works in Mumbai, India.



"My practice responds to the space /site I am working in. I see each work of art as an alternative method of recording time which allows me to create a new narrative for my art and my own practice in each case."
Siddhartha Kararwal lives and works in Jaipur, India.
