My creative journey is an exploration of the intricate patterns of nature through visual arts and poetry, fueled by a profound ecological consciousness. Drawing inspiration directly from the landscapes around me, I aim to depict the interconnectedness between humans and nature, weaving animated narratives that evoke deep emotions and highlight our complex relationship with the environment. My practice encompasses photography, poetry, and various visual mediums, each uniquely capturing the essence of ecology.
I worked with Lila - artist research studio, I have developed my work and concepts, blending my experiences with nature with Indian thought. This exploration delves into the philosophies I have grown up with, such as Jaina thought and meditative practices like Vipassana. These beliefs allow me to view the world through a meditative lens, enhancing my experiences and artistic expressions.
To deepen my understanding, I engage in primary research by immersing myself in diverse landscapes. This immersion fosters a deeper connection with nature and expands my awareness of the scientific, social, and political dimensions of each site. By incorporating principles of environmental aesthetics into my creative process, I strive to address the environmental crisis, offering perspectives that inspire reflection and action.
