This body of work originates from closely observing the abundant flora of deep forest ecosystems in montane territories. Moving beyond the collective visualization of greenery, it uses the individual leaf as a starting point for creating imagery that explores form, pattern and perception. This exploration spans multiple geographies, tracing native, invasive and foreign species from Ngawal in Nepal, Shimoga in the Sahyadri range, to Kotagiri in the Nilgiris.

The creation process relies primarily on natural, temporal chemistry. Research into high-tannin flora led to a profound pivot toward psychoanalysis, adopting the visual language of Hermann Rorschach's inkblot tests. In this body of work, botanical forms converge with the human psyche, transforming impressions derived from leaves and flowers into complex mirrors of internal perception.
