‘Ananas’ celebrates the pineapple, which has long been regarded as a symbol of hospitality by many cultures around the world, thanks to its exotic beauty, sparse supply, and high demand.

Through her art, Kumari has explored the idea of hospitality and comfort, focusing particularly on the skin and form of the pineapple, which is covered by ‘eyes’ on all sides. The pineapple skin exudes a feeling of protection and security, contributing to a sense of home and hospitality.
