Queer Continuum
Made as part of 4th year thesis at Srishti Manipal University, Queer Continuum is a zine collection of anecdotes from experiences of existence, love, navigation and expression of young and older queer Indian folx.
More about this Project
A set of 24 people, from the age of youngest 18 to oldest 50 were interviewed about their experience around their identities/sexuaity and how these intersect with their positionalities as a person from a certain geographical area, educational and occupational background in India.
The project aims at bridging generational gaps between young and older queer folx by drawing connections and comparisons between the experiences of the aforementioned groups. It brings together the mutual love for authentic existence as a form of resistance and joy between generations.
This Project was featured on RANG foundation's Instrgram Live celebrating Pride on June 2nd 2024, it is also showcased in Zinedabaad Collective's current zine pop-up library in Mumbai
GHOST
Created in an attempt to capture myself as an anthropomorphic creature
Logline: A nurse shark's love for creativity leads him to the deepest part of the ocean where he finds magical plants and some unpleasant demonic creatures.
Ghost - Stop motion animation
Based on self reflective prompt, a shark (created as an anthropomorphic version of me) is living it's life blissfully, unbothered in his comfort zone which is then interrupted by it being trapped inside a strip of anxiety pills - a direct reflection of my own experience with mental illness and the idea of being trapped inside a strip of medication like you've become defined by a mental disorder
Feathered Ties
Made as part of 4th year pre-thesis at Srishti Manipal University, A small child realizes the value of life but has no power to preserve it, until she meets a shivering dog late at night
Feathered Ties - Animatic
This animatic was created to showcase human-animal relations in terms of one's personal experience. The story follows two incidents that happened in my life when I was 5/6 years old, one where I accompanied my father to a butcher shop and realized the slaughter behind my meals and second, was an encounter with a puppy during Delhi's harsh winter where I left my jacket with him to keep him warm through the night. I combined both these instances into a singular story of a child finding out she has very little power to save an animal's life but hope's not all lost, she can help in little ways.
