策展人Deeksha Nath的陈述：
    那个城市就是她的灵感所在。维巴•盖尔霍特拉的雕塑和绘画是她对这个城市、城市附近以及现代城市文化、政治和社会影响具体问题的体验。

    因为她的作品表现的是她所生活的地方和社会环境，维巴称自己的作品为“位点专一”，这一创造性的词汇表示艺术作品存在于一个特定的地方。维巴指的是她的雕塑作品是对一种特殊的形成于当代社会的和谐共存的隐喻性的陈述。我们像聚集到一起生活在一个拥挤的蜂箱的蜜蜂，因此，我们能否像蜜蜂一样找到一起工作和生活的方式而不是相互乞讨？

Curatorial statement by Deeksha Nath
The city is her inspiration and Vibha Galhotra’s sculptures and paintings are her experience of the city, its neighborhoods and the problematics specific to modern urban cultures, politics and social interactions. 
Because her work examines areas and situations of the society she lives in Vibha refers to her work as ‘site-specific’, a creative use of a term that denotes art works that exist in a certain place. What Vibha denotes is that her sculptures are metaphoric statements about a particular kind of co-existence that is shaping in cities today. We live crammed in and piled up as bees in a hive and so can we, like bees, find ways of working and living together rather then scrounging off one another?
