"Kohli's work is inspired by the generative forces of nature-its cycles of growth, dissolution, and renewal. Central to the artist's visual language is Shakti, the transformative power of the divine feminine. Kohli uses the womb as a potent symbol of creation and possibility, exploring transformation within the eternal cycles of birth and death."
"Kohli's practice weaves together diverse philosophical traditions, further informing her exploration of the body as a sacred vessel and a site of inner knowledge. Her use of 24-karat gold and silver leaf, textiles, metal, and recycled yarn evoke ritual, care, and reverence within material form."
"Kohli's work has been featured in major international exhibitions and museums, including a solo exhibition at the Museum of Sacred Art in Belgium in 2019 and the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in 2016. Her work is held in institutional collections such as the British Museum (UK), Rubin Museum (USA), and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (US)."
