CV
MidJourney was used to generate images of tribes that do not wear upper clothing as a tradition. The software generated photos of various tribes wearing clothing.
The poster was created to highlight the colonialistic ideology. It was created by extracting features of Western attire and shapes from original pictures of tribal women.

Work in Progress
Using speculative design principles, I base this project on the question “what if we don’t have access to how nature looked in the far future and find bones and fossils filled with junk and plastic, how will we reconstruct?”
Runway ML has been used to generate the video of the bird illustration.

POSTER
MOTION
Tamil Nadu, a southern state in India, has a unique political landscape where the lines between cinema and politics have been historically blurred. Several film actors have transitioned into politics, often with considerable success.
This data visualization plots the journey of movie stars to politics by using stardom as a launch pad into politics. This remains as a unique and significant aspect of Tamil identity.

DATA VISUALIZATION
50,000-100,000 pilgrims visit Tirupati for its Hindu God Venkateswara everyday, making it one of the most important religious sites in India. The symbol first occurred when making the sculpture of deity in 300 CE.
This is my attempt at unifying all the forms into one simple form.
