As part of material surface and structure module we got to work with waste where we should come up with new material made out of any kind of waste. I chose to work with tea waste, initially started with exploring composites and then exploring material properties with forms and structural forming.

The inquiry was about understanding the current scenario of ceramic industrial production that caters to the consumerist society. But more importantly, investigating waste generated after the firing process in ceramic production and how we can convert the production line into a closed-loop manufacturing process through a design approach that adheres to the principles of circular economy. The project demanded vital inquiries as to how can we reduce mining for natural resources yet continue catering to the needs of consumers through developing value-added products. The approach involved extensive interaction with various stakeholders and even more elaborate experimentation with the material.

Can we understand Nature?
SYSTEM
If not the most vital resource, water is one of the primary ingredients responsible for the world as we see it today. Owing to this more than often overlooked fact, I incorporated the alternative process of cyanotypes into my practice in creating a body of work revolving around the numerous lakes dotting the scapes of Bengaluru. I started with photographing aerial shots around prominent water bodies, consequently exposing and washing the prints in that very same body. The resulting pieces varied in a number of visual features owing to the salinity, acidity and mineral content of the water.
