Maas | A solo piece by Jyoti Dogra

Maas is a wry take on the natural phenomenon of aging, and weight gain which in today's world of ultra fitness, gyms, diets, health gurus, surgical procedures and influencers is frowned upon and looked at as anything but natural. By examining her own body, which is female, fat and fifty, Dogra explores Instagram culture, internalised patriarchy and the control wielded by beauty and fitness industries through the lens of humour and critique.
