Having spent most of my life in Mumbai, the city has become an integral part of my identity. Though I was born in Kolkata, it is Mumbai that has passionately sculpted my thoughts, stirred my emotions, and defined my palate. The city's vibrancy and spirit have shaped who I am today.

I was part of an anonymous collective dedicated to enriching Mumbai's cultural landscape while also reminding its residents of the city's colonial history. I have used blood red heavily to commemorate the sacrifices of our freedom fighters, while tar black symbolized the colonizers who sought to strip us of our resources, lives, and cultural identity. Our mission was to infuse the city with color and vitality, celebrating its dynamic character and rich heritage.
