As Sood’s permanent address is the Massachusetts in the United States, the artworks deeply draw from the finesse of the vibrancy of the art and culture that surrounds her. Her canvases are open-minded towards various artistic styles making women her muses and narrators both.

Those who would look closely at the works would be  able to notice a red hue which depicts a bridge between reality and imagination. The colour itself invokes deep resonance with the culture of her homeland – right from the bridal red to the fierceness of the Goddess Kali’s blood-red tongue, to also depicting forms of love – all three again tracing its steps back to womanhood and its essence in various forms.
