EXHALE THE EXTERNAL
STORY BEHIND "EXHALE THE EXTERNAL"
This series shows a calm space between reality and imagination, similar to a peaceful, meditative state. Inspired by Kerala’s traditional mural art and Kalari Rasayana, the paintings bring nature—like lotus ponds and backwaters—indoors. Soft traditional colors create a quiet mood. Observing the details slowly helps viewers relax, reflect, and feel harmony with the surrounding space.
CLOUDS KITCHEN
STORY BEHIND "CLOUDS KITCHEN"
Food is humanity’s earliest connection with nature. Before modern kitchens, nourishment came directly from land and seasons. This work reimagines the “cloud kitchen” as a kitchen without walls, rooted in fields and forests. Using clay and natural forms, it reflects food’s origins and invites mindful eating—where nourishment becomes knowledge, care, and a deep connection with the ecosystem.
