Project Highlights
India, my insanely diverse and equally chaotic home. From beautiful temples to tall and modernized buildings to murky slum houses and garbage dumps at every corner of the eye. We have it all.
I find it very unique yet quite frustrating. Our roads consist of sports cars, auto rickshaws and cows. Our people worship the Gods with faith and commitment everyday; yet the same population pollutes and raises mountains of trash next to our very own holy temples.
And of course, we love our HORN OK PLEASE trucks, don't we?
Chaos, Contrasts,
& Contradictions
Medium : Pen, Water Colors
Dimensions : 23.4 x 33.1 in
Year : 2020
An inherent part of my life in Gurgaon is the consistent paradox of Architecture. With tall office complexes and cyber hubs, immediately followed by unhygienic and ill-equipped neighbourhoods of workers living in poverty.
This sculpture proposes the idea that these fancy constructions are a waste if other parts of the city are crude and unpolished.
Small huts and garbage are thrown against the tall building prototype to commentate on our crooked and disproportionate city dynamics.
Of Glass, Garbage, & Grime

Drawing inspiration from the Shri Jagannath and Konark Sun Temples in Orissa, this 25.5 x 25.5 x 30 inch table embodies a piece of heritage and history.
Carved from a single log of mango wood, the distinct rounded top of the counter draws inspiration from the curved top of the Jagannath temple, known as the Amla. While the two ledges extending out from the main body capture the form of the Sun temple.
Mahima, at every angle and curve communicates a subtle beauty; that is Indian design and artistry.

Indian artistry such as handicrafts, architecture and paintings often feature heavy and flamboyant aesthetics; a distinct theatrical presentation, which can be noticed across all Indian art forms. The tabla is an 18th century Indian instrument made of rosewood and leather.
This deconstructed tabla presents the instrument in its most basic form. It strips away all the additional decorations and revives the instrument in a newer, more modern light.
It blends the world of traditional Indian artistry with modern minimalism, to reach an audience of evolved tastes and grounded values.

I often see packets of chips decorated in front of small kirana shops across the city. Have you ever experienced the joy of standing in front of one these stores and looking up to see which packet of chips you want to get?
I admired the charm of these ordinary salty and spicy bags when strung together into long and colorful rows, and I felt that they deserved more appreciation.
This kirana store inspired shelf captures the rectangular and symmetrical look of the bags of chips and it doubles as a decorative piece to keep small accessories.

This still-life is a self-portrait by deference that I have created using the things that define and shape my
existence and experience.
I thought it would be poetic to study the shapes of those objects that shape my existence the most.
The subjects in the frame constitute my bag, drum sticks, corduroy hat, sneakers, and bulky headphones. I have chosen these items carefully to represent the best and the most essential escapades of my life.

I wanted to capture the drum kit from the player's point of view, a perspective that I feel is not empathized with enough.
This monochromatic artwork highlights the shimmer and shine of the kit as it records my hands swiftly moving across the instruments.
The grey outlines of the hands are shadows which represent the movement of my arms as well as the mathematical dexterity that goes into formulating the music.
The artwork dwells in my land of performance, wherein I create a range of harmonious grooves; all the while playing with speed, precision and passion.
