She completed her MFA in Printmaking from Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda in 2022, and her BFA in Painting from Andhra University in 2020. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAich’s work emerges from an intimate engagement with memory, absence, and the psychic residue of lived experience. Anchored in drawing, her practice extends into large-scale, site-responsive installations composed of paper and textile fragments. Through processes of cutting, layering, and assembling, she constructs image-fields that operate as non-linear constellations rather than fixed narratives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHer work engages with the instability of memory and the persistence of the past within the present, often drawing upon familial and intergenerational registers. Figures and forms emerge as provisional presences, suspended between visibility and erasure, materialisation and dissolution. The recurrent use of rice paper and fabric foregrounds questions of fragility, permeability, and tactility, positioning material as an active agent in the production of meaning rather than a passive support.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAich’s installations resist narrative closure, instead invoking a logic of accumulation and dispersal that mirrors the operations of memory and dreaming. Her visual language is marked by a quiet, affective intensity, where the boundaries between the psychic and the material remain deliberately porous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorking across drawing, printmaking, painting, and textile-based processes including embroidery, Aich approaches medium as contingent, allowing each work to determine its material form. Her installations, often expansive in scale, unfold as non-linear constellations of images that remain open-ended, where narrative is suggested but not resolved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAich has participated in several notable residencies and exhibitions, including the Anant Art Foundation Exhibition (Honourable Mention, 2025), Arthshila Artist’s Residency, Siwan (2025), the KHOJ Peers Residency (2024), the Winter Residency at SPACE Studio (2023), and ABIR’s First Take (2023).
