b. 1988, Patiala, Punjab, India
I think of art as a way of listening, and design as a way of responding.
My practice begins with observing the entwined relationships between people, places, memories, materials, and the living Earth. These observations gradually unfold into immersive environments, spatial interventions, visual imagery, moving stories, poetry, soundscapes, and participatory experiences that invite all to become part of the whole.
I am interested in creating conditions within design environments where clarity deepens curiosity, inquiry remains sincere and playful, and collaboration unfolds as a shared process of discovery.
Architectural learning teaches me to think through spaces. Poetry teaches me to listen through silence. Nature continues to teach me about the ebbs and flows of living systems. My practice exists somewhere at the intersection of these ways of seeing.
I am drawn to questions that reveal the structures between the seen and the unseen. How does a place change when people participate in making it? Can celebration become a form of ecological practice? How might beauty cultivate responsibility rather than consumption? What ways of living help us remember our belonging within the larger web of life?
These questions continue to guide an evolving practice that moves across community initiatives, festivals, public spaces, exhibitions, learning workshops, and diverse forms of expression; weaving experiences that invite us to inhabit life with greater presence, wonder, and care.
