A vibrant celebration of ritual, food, and diasporic joy, the series conjures a radiant world shaped by my rootedness found in diaspora. Sweets, jewelry, embroidered fabrics, and festive snacks swirl in technicolor opulence.

The act of collaging with its fragmentation, subversion and its paradoxical nature enables the construction of new narratives as assemblages of care and community, offering an antidote to tropes of colorism, racism, caste-apartheid, ethno-nationalism that underpin the narratives various forms of media continue to platform. The screens (phones, ipads, web browsers) become an intermediary linking past to the present. Underneath it, exist images that pay homage to the riotous cacophony of flavors and textures from the multifaith and seasonal festivals of my childhood.
