The Travelling Teapot is a conversational video Installation that explores how we build material affinities with objects we share with our families. How ancestral and domestic objects bind us, formulates rituals, and pave the way for traditions to continue and build community. Therefore, it explores ideas around care, empathy, generosity, colonial discourse and relational aesthetics in contemporary art
Using art as a tool to devise a collective connection with people, the film explores conversations around the complexity of languages, heirlooms, migration and belonging

Yahi To Hai Apna Pann is a musical montage exploring the cultural and emotional significance of tea in South Asia. Through vintage and contemporary tea commercials, the artwork reflects on familial dynamics, societal shifts, and the quiet resistance embedded in everyday rituals.

Disclocation within Location. 2022
The Memory of a Man and Machine explores photography as a medium for image-making, reflecting on how love, loss, grief, and familial bonds shape our perception of memory and time. The series critiques the reliability of memory as an archive, using familial and collective archives as vehicles that bridge the past and present. Animated futuristic time capsules symbolize the evolving and transient nature of memory.
Through three-dimensional photo-sculptures, motors, lights, shadows, and sound, the work reconstructs memories into immersive, theatrical storytelling, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. The constant interplay of past and present creates a fragmented reality, inviting reflection on how we remember, reinterpret, and relive our experiences of grief, love, loss, and community.
