Ritika Dubal was formed as a response to speed — to the pressure to produce, explain, and perform before work is ready to stand on its own. The studio grew from a personal practice shaped by movement across cities, moments of displacement, and the quiet weight of ambition. Rather than chasing visibility, the focus has remained on building a body of work slowly, with attention to authorship, narrative, and restraint. Each piece is created as part of a longer conversation, not a single event, allowing meaning to accumulate over time. The studio exists to protect that pace — where return matters as much as progress, and presence is valued over momentum.
