To have this professional alter ego, felt like an injustice to the rest of me. what I do is completely and entirely a reflection of who I am, and so I wanted this portfolio to be a collection of things that make me, me.
I couldn’t decide whether to define myself as an architect, a designer or an artist, or something else and so I decided not to define myself at all. I felt this constant need to categorize myself in a certain group caused me great anxiety. A definition excludes the possibility of change and multiplicity. I simply want to be a human being who is, and does multiple things, and is interested in learning, being and doing many more.
perpetually obsessed with...
collecting beautiful dead things, making to-do lists, Indian classical music, color curating every little thing in my life, words, language, finding ladybugs in grass, goa monsoons, movies, reading screenplays, jigsaw puzzles, spending hours in a stationery store, pink sunsets, mushrooms, typography, constant contemplation of human existence, books, sticking things on my bedroom walls, the idea of self, origami, philosophy, kathak, finding new cool Instagram filters, strategy board games, roller coaster tycoon, moon, repeating random quotes in unrelated conversations, anklets, handmade gifts, remembering random words that I find funny
