ARTIST STATEMENT
This book comprises sketches and poetry inspired by my Indian heritage. I experiment with using collage as a medium to explore facets of my cultural identity, particularly through the use of textiles, bindis (decorative forehead jewelry worn in India), and line art depicting ethnic scenes that I identify with from the perspective of the Indian diaspora.
