A wild hope of unbounded seeing
2026
Material Paintings, Prints
Fragments of Nature, Lab Slides, UV Glue
There’s something in the matter of the Earth, in its infinite diversity of state that keeps me in wonder. So much so, that on my heights of despair, I find myself under a tree to find the grounding of my being. I try to fathom, what does it do to me? This collection of material paintings made from natural matter explores how materiality of the world informs our perception. Intentionally composed on laboratory slides, these material paintings transform a device of scientific inquiry into a site of material reverie. Created from found natural matter gathered over time, dried, and carefully assembled, the compositions draw from their latent infinities, cultivating wonder through close observation. For the world, these botanical reveries remain open to interpretation, inviting contemplation on human–more-than-human entanglements, informed by the material agency of the Earth.
In the depths of forests (WIP)
2025-2026
Experimental Films (Short previews), Writing
Microscopy, Found natural matter, Sound Recordings
An evolving series that delves into the depths of natural matter collected through foraging. It seeks to explore how nature, and their mysterious depths expand our perception, and challenges our understanding of the world. Combining writing with footage of microscopic observations, I present my own reflections along with the interplay of mediums. It aims to expand the visions of others, and invites us to consider collectively, how we perceive our co-existence with the more-than-human world.
Apprenticeship with Nature
2025
Printmaking, Writing
Fragments of Nature, Ink, Paper
In my practice what I seek is a shift away from the mechanical world that confines us. To turn the great four walls of our civilisation into something porous. Perhaps then, we’ll have a chance to be one with the world. This record is an acknowledgement of such a co-existence. A deliberate effort to listen, and to be enlightened. Like a memory, it holds a trace of shared authorship between my body and the natural world. What I learn are many earthly ways, The way a leaf records light, how soil remembers rain, how flowers absorb ink, and their love dissolves our pain. The writing provides a personal readings of the emergent prints, interpreted as lessons/learnings from the world.

Drawings
Pen, Paper & Instinct
That's the thing about drawing with your instinct, it feels as if life was being drawn through you. This is a work-in-progress series that I'd like to describe as a manifestation of consciousness, where I begin with almost no pre-requisite image, rather only a crooked line, inspired by the branches of a tree. It is when I draw and draw, that the image slowly comes through, leaving me bewildered.
One Last Try
Skateboarding Documentary
Summary
1. One last try is a lie. Mostly.
2. Before grip tape, came sandpaper.
3. You can harvest happiness from a piece of wood.
4. Some life long friendships begin with just three words, “Teach me kickflip.”
5. Streets make you humble.
6. If it’s not for the tricks, it’s for our mental health.
7. The way we’re living is not the way we should be living. People deserve more.
8. Stop your stupid war with Palestine.
9. Ladakh needs Sixth Schedule.
10. Don’t be an asshole to others.
Everyone deserves a shot at landing something they believe in. "One Last Try" is about just that. Meet Adnan Zaid from Leh and Jimmy Wangchuk from Nubra, two skaters carving up the streets of Delhi. And listen to the things they had to say on the way.
Forest of Contemplation
2025-2026
Sculptures, Writing
Sticks & stones, linen thread, mirror, writings
Sticks and stones lie scattered across the fallen ground, like loose parts, fragments broken away from a larger whole. It is through perception that their variability begins to hold utility. Yet, in using what is raw and found, they remain a reminder of their fragility, of an untamed world. I want to gather these fragments and form a small forest of broken branches, a constructed landscape, creating a place of contemplation, reflected in the mirror below.
These are to be accompanied by loose writings on paper, at times on the floor held by stones, or stuck in the branches. There will also be loose plain sheets of paper for people to pen their thoughts.
Beginning After The End

Found burnt wood logs, panels, acrylic paint, Indian Ink
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when people first started burning fossil fuels, carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere have risen from about 280 parts per million to 387 parts per million, a 39 percent increase.The answer isn’t in condemning carbon as a mere pollutant, but in recognising it as life’s fundamental flow. Burnt wood pieces, created from the very act of destruction, shift our focus to our mere presence in this cyclic nature. It grows out from a place of dominion to one of reciprocity. The log evokes, colours, and fills the atmosphere, reminding us that we are just beings in its eternal flow, not masters of it. That, it is as much alive as you and I. “If carbon were an animate being, we would praise its social intelligence, its gregarious, congenial, and flexible nature, and how easily it makes friends." ( Paul Hawken, Carbon: A Book of Life, p. 18)
To be or not to be
2026
Textile Installation
Found discarded textiles, & bin
I am drawn to the life of things that no longer seem to have a reason to live. Or so we think. Once vibrant, now inert, yet present, they ask me, “To be or not to be?” Under the lens of time, the answer shifts. Life of things, as William Viney observes, “is realised time and time again, by narrating and thus enclosing the times of use that become suspended in states of waste.” Waste, then, is not an end, but a pause. It is a temporal rupture. Perhaps its passivity is a fiction, one imposed by humans, thanks to our chronic condition of excess. The artwork poses an existential question to the life of waste: To be or not to be? It stands at the tipping point; when does something become useless. By assembling our refuse, the bin of junk is open for contemplation.
It doesn’t seek a value, but only to provoke our notions of waste and the life we make of it.
