Uma Nair, the Asian Age, August, 1996, states "In Saba's works we encounter not just that frame of mind that sets out to explore and ingest but also a multiplicity of frames that contain, focus, isolate, and seal off. Anyone who sees her work has to react and respond. Hers is a language of the present, one that expresses a contemporary reality." Aruna Bhowmick, The Statesman, October, 1997, states "Here is an artist who is unusually sensitive to the questions underlying human existence. Her choice of form and usage of earthy hues lend even more power to her work."
