Exile & Enlightenment
In the stillness of exile, Ram and Sita tread a path away from home, their devotion steady yet vigilant. The golden deer appears like a glimmering promise, drawing their gaze and hinting at the trials to come. Shadows gather around them, whispering doubt and desire, as the forest becomes both sanctuary and crucible. This moment captures the tension between longing and caution, innocence and temptation, reflecting the quiet weight of choices in the midst of uncertainty.

🗽 New York Life in sketches 🎨
Everyone’s talking…..Pigeons coo and strut like they own the streets……Friends blabber over coffee, laughter spilling out onto sidewalks……Strangers whisper secrets into their phones, unaware that I’m quietly listening, observing it all.

Stories of Home
Stories of Home is a visual journey through the quiet poetry of Indian domestic life, where everyday rituals, traditions, and gestures become carriers of memory and meaning. Each artwork reimagines the familiar scenes that shape belonging: women stringing jasmine in the courtyard, families gathering to make sweets before a wedding, a bride marking her new home with red handprints of alta.

The Blooming Wall
In a quiet, grey village stood a forgotten wall, cracked and lifeless. One day, a little girl arrived with paints and a wild heart. She splashed bold marigolds, pink peonies, and blue lotuses across the bricks.
