Introduction

My graduation project is based on current scenarios that I have been in my recent adult life, the changing climate of our one precious earth and the ignorance of our culture (beacuse we no longer believe in gods but brands). We are westernised to such an extent by the bollywood and social media that we rarely question real stuff in our society and its changing behaivor. We are so molded by media that now it is so hard to know what is true and what not !!

The way I will be presenting my work will be a lot different just like every graduation project should be, IICD is a home to students from different states where they speak different language and have entirely different culture altogether and yet IICD wants a standarised project like every craft is exactly the same like other. When Marshall McLuhan said, “The Medium is the Massage”, I think people at IICD literally misunderstood it because people look at more of screens than the books in shelves !!

*** This is not an ordinary graduation project ***

*** This is not to come to an end anytime soon but only add-on further in space and time. This will be an extension of my world view, which have been largely enlarged in my recent last year. The way I conceive the world, my interactions with people online, offline; objects and ideas, which I have tired to expand on in this compilation. There will be a lot of references to support and make-understand my opinions.

Things will be added to this document even after the jury comes to an end, its a journey I overtook that will go on...

My work is build upon the ideas and constructs of Ideefix (A4 Achaar), the busride studio, yatharth, craft futures and many more who have explored the crafts with new and different eyes.

This is for those who never stop questioning and always starts a question with a “What If”, for the dreamers who are merely sailing on this cosmic fabric.
