In Yardena Kurulkar's visits to the Chemould archive, she responded deeply to Khorshed Gandhy's record keeping efforts with use of carbon paper while writing and typing her letters.

As carbon paper underneath ensures a copy, there is also a preservation of memory across time. Yardena delicately scraps off the carbon from multiple carbon papers, and transfers it on a pristine white paper surface which then becomes full of this preserved essence of personal communication. With this attempt at regeneration Yardena Kurulkar has immersed herself in the immortalisation of precious memories. The scrapped carbon paper turns into a symbol of absence and the scrapped ink is regenerated into a new amorphous form. Carbon here becomes the conduit of memory and her mark-making is preserved to showcase the duality of absence and presence.
