Echoes in Glass

In Kangra Valley, two birds called the Kurla-Kurli once functioned as a living bio-acoustic system for predicting rain. As climate change silences these birds, the tradition is vanishing. At the same time, mountain landscapes fill with construction and demolition waste — glass that no urban-centric circularity model can reach.

Echoes in Glass transforms this waste into sensor-embedded vessels that carry the oral histories gathered from elders — turning refuse into archive, making the invisible tangible.

Illustrations

Hand-drawn explorations — birds, mountains, fragments, and the lines between things. Drawing is my way of feeling and looking at a very slow pace.

Kabaad se Jugaad

Kabaad se Jugaad — wealth from waste. Workshops in mountain villages, schools, and community spaces where participants collect, reimagine, and rebuild with what has been discarded. Making something from nothing is not a constraint. It is a methodology. It is a way of doing and seeing.
