Inspired by the folk arts of India, hand-embroidered portraits of Lakshmi, Ganesha, and Saraswati.
Each stitch a prayer, each thread woven with devotion.
An ode to prosperity, protection, and knowledge.

What went on behind the scenes in the making of the Madurai Meenakshi Amman Gopuram.
This was only possible thanks to both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Srinivas. Two accomplished embroiderers, who helped me bring my vision to life 🩷

Tree of Life: See No Evil

Lately, I’ve been imagining and sketching out various versions of the tree of life, be it on the iPad, on paper or even in my head. To me it symbolizes hope, new beginnings , prosperity and abundance.
