In an image-driven world, I situate my practice in the elementary aspects of image-making. My work takes shape from the vantage point of Ladakh, situated in the remote Indian Himalayas, where I am currently based. Ladakh as a lived experience underpins my analog and camera-less photography, bookmaking, and mixed-media works.

Currently, I teach at the Naropa Fellowship in Ladakh: a post-graduate programme in entrepreneurial leadership and liberal arts, for the local and the Himalayan youth at large. I also manage the Naropa Centre for Writing & Communication–a unique facility that trains students in strategising written and visual communication.

My learnings in and from Ladakh have enabled my understanding of the world as one that does not exist of its own accord, but one that is dependent on causes and conditions. I come to terms with this by navigating through the region’s geography, ecology and local memories and practices, and attempt to arrive at manifestations of the same.
