“Touch. A social dialogue”
I work across ceramic and metal sculptures, found objects, paintings, printmaking, and interactive sound and light installations. My practice stems from childhood wonder, bodily movement, and the creation of space. I believe art serves as a "vocal cord" for children in conflict. I address contemporary social issues amongst others by using bold colours thereby creating a language of colour. My practice involves accessibility to art through play, touch, blow, and move the work, fundamentally believing that art's true life emerges from direct viewer engagement. Co-founding 'Tiny Farm Lab' with my brother, we hand-sculpted a mud house with 100 volunteers from 18 countries.
My exhibitions span Miami Art Week, Jaipur Art Week, Goldstück Light Festival in Germany (2025), India Art Fair (2025), and Ars Electronica in New York. I've presented three solo shows in Bangalore, Mumbai, and Goa. I’ve received awards including the AD New Wave Award, Kohler Design Award, and ArtsHelp Grant for climate-sensitive art.
