Saaya / साया
Saaya / साया traces fading memories of my hometown (Delhi) through 3D ornaments and illustrations inspired by haunted tombs, hell-ish heat and imaginative landscapes that borrow from motifs commonly found on old Mughal tombs across North India.
Deep reds, golds and blues echo the sacred, the forgotten and the uncanny. A tribute to a place where I grew up, Saaya is an ever-evolving project that changes shapes in line with various phases of my identity as an immigrant and my life as a designer.
Parts of this project were featured on It’s Nice That.
