Photography helps me interpret the strange beauty that surrounds us. It helps me lift the veil of what can be seen with the naked eye, to reveal something profound or playful, or both. It encourages me to ask the questions: who are we, where do we come from, why are we here, how are we connected?

My practice also brings together various things that I love: writing, drawing, photographs and moving images.

I live in chennai, india.
