Bottled Baatalu

Bottled Baatalu Bottled Baatalu, translates to bottled up trails (Baatalu in Telugu means trails). It started off as a visual journal of found poetry from discarded papers and books, which gradually unraveled into something that people could resonate and relate with. There are pieces of bottled up words, lines and stories that hold subjective value to each individual reader.

Here I’ve tried to play with colour and composition to visualise the found poetry. The journal does not follow a single story, rather it’s a mixture/collage of different moments, experiences, peoples lives -different trails.

Bottled Baatalu is the coming together of words, lines and images which were too far from each other to speak the unspoken.
