Projects

Exhibitions

Exhibitions bring my photography projects into a shared space, where images can be encountered beyond the screen. Through galleries and cultural institutions, these presentations bring together my black-and-white photographs and handcrafted prints, inviting a closer engagement with the subjects, ideas and processes that shape the work.

Kāśī

What continues

Kāśī (Kaashi) is an ongoing body of work shaped through repeated visits to one of the world's oldest living cities. Rather than seeking to explain its rituals or beliefs, the project reflects on the continuity of life as it is revealed through everyday moments. Over time, the photographs have become less about the city itself and more about the enduring relationship between presence and transformation through which
life continues.
