Through the 1980s, Anupam Sud made drawings of pairs, both heterosexual and homosexual. Several memorable etchings of heterosexual couples exist from this period and Dialogue II, which is part of the series, is a serigraph of a couple aggressively confronting each other against a dead brick wall. Questioning the institution of marriage through many of her works, Sud imagines the emotional quotient of these relationships and creates images of couples who were either despondent, angry, confrontational, bearing an inconclusive or a contemplative gaze.
