The brief here spoke about choosing a listed emotion and creating a nonfunctional abstract form for it. I chose the emotion “Shanta” i.e tranquil. Living in the chaotic city of Mumbai all my life, the beach was a niche that always allowed me to feel peaceful and connected to myself. The sounds of the waves were relaxing and engaging at the same time. Thus making this choice was influenced by my memories back in Mumbai and reminiscing about the ocean. Research revealed that an ocean drum mimics the sound of waves. Consequently, I decided to include it in my design.

The brief here was to design a ramen bowl for a high-end Japanese restaurant by taking inspiration from any locally available leaves or flowers. The flower “Pride of India” is the one I chose as my inspiration while walking the streets of Bangalore as it reminded me of the Japanese cherry blossoms. My design was also influenced by Japanese brush strokes. The bowl was created in dark-bodied clay and covered with white slips.

The brief was to combine two of the listed forms together to create an amalgamation of the same. The work below is a fusion of a moon jar and a plate. The final form was inspired by my dad’s wild-life photography; the wings of a bird during its flight. This sculpture is textured with paper clay to give the feathered body effect.
