Written on Words weaves together drawing, architecture, film, performance, writing, object design, creative robotics, and collaboration, in order to create work that is grounded in neurology, the nature of memory, literature, empire, love of the human form and a long-time interest in geometry. —yet leave room for contradiction, uncertainty, and the unresolved.

Performance :
Transformative/Anastomosing-architecture
















At its core, Anastomosing-architecture searches for stories within object design – as a driving force for disruption, transformation and speculation. 

Through the design of new interfaces, the development of new techniques for interpreting and mapping expressive gesture, and the application of these technologies to innovative compositions and experiences, this work seeks to challenge as a performance art, and to develop its transformative power as counterpoint to our everyday lives. Searching for new ways to live stories

New structures emerge, hold, and fall away in perpetuity. Borders and boundaries slip away, falling into surfaces of material and movement. Something new emerges, always.

The Empty Chair (wip)

In 2019, I returned to my family home. It was familiar and unfamiliar. The walls were the same, the smell of Indian food but the objects that once pre-occupied my attention had fallen to the background of my perceptive field.
A series of objects rose to the surface, almost demanding to be seen.

Among them was a chair, this object took its first breathe and which each inhale the presence of its absence grew. It was a chair filled with absence, the absence of someone who once sat there. This paradox struck me: the fullness of the chair was revealed only by its emptiness. By no means an eternal state but a state of change, simmering. Akin to a fictitious “unfinished” sculpture of a figure, partially emerging and partially entombed in stone.

This collision birthed a thought, I wondered then—do we all have an empty chair in our lives?! 

This piece belongs to a larger story and production and it depict moments on the verge of change and reflect a larger scope of time. Specfically reflecting Racism and class trouble in Post Colonial India.

at once so mysterious and so real, has opened in me large wounds and also large flowing springs
