Each piece is a work of art, conceptualized and made with great attention to detail by award-winning craftsmen in India. The toys mark the first extension of the artist's trademark character, Princess Pea, which symbolizes the values and rights of the ‘girl child’ in India and the issues surrounding women’s identity in modern-day society.
The limited-edition toy, ‘FALL & RISE’, is a figural representation of Princess Pea’s body type who, when pushed from underneath, collapses down, bouncing back when released to stand upright once more embodying the resilience of the Indian girl child, whose rights and values Princess Pea champions. Gender-based discrimination against female children is pervasive across the world; it is seen in all strata of society and manifests in various forms. It is argued that, on account of this inferior treatment, females often fail to understand their rights. This is more predominant in India and a pressing issue that the artist seeks to address.
