About
An interdisciplinary designer from India with an interest in space, place, and print. I love exploring South Asian visual narratives through diverse forms of designed objects at the intersection of visual arts and graphic design. My practice highlights and celebrates often-overlooked aspects of culture and community while evoking nostalgia and raising awareness.
I often explore the possibilities of how different disciplines intertwine, making collaboration a significant part of my process. I have been actively researching the representation of documentation and archival material through print and digital mediums.
Also, I love collecting maps!
Firki: Objects of Transient Belongings
Firki* celebrates the colourful and diverse visual language of hand-painted signs in India’s public spaces through an art installation. Through the project, I playfully capture their transient essence through multiple designed objects, highlighting voices and narratives while documenting and archiving them. The art installation exhibits a series of pinwheels that display the documented and digitised signs, integrating them with printmaking methods such as screen printing and custom-made rubber stamps. I also explore various print outcomes to celebrate the community’s perception of the Indian graphic design style. Firki takes you on a trip down memory lane, embedded in a cultural heritage often overlooked as everyday ephemera. I also developed an interactive online version of the installation (in collaboration) - https://pinwheel-one.vercel.app/ *Firki (n) A hand-made paper pinwheel found on the streets of India.
