Katupechi and Karuppi

Project type

Portrait , Digital Painting

Date

2021

Location

India

In Pariyerum Perumal (2018) and Karnan (2021), both directed by Mari Selvaraj, Karuppi and Kaatu Pechi are powerful symbolic figures that transcend their non-human forms to represent caste trauma, resistance, and the inner world of the oppressed protagonist. While one is a dog (Karuppi) and the other a deity (Kaatu Pechi), both are deeply interwoven with the emotional and political fabric of the films.
