How can Indian stories be translated into contemporary home textiles? This project explores that question through the lens of the banyan tree—an enduring, culturally rich symbol across Indian households. Starting with nature walks and block-making exercises, the process was intentionally open-ended and reflective. Through tie-dye techniques like Arashi and Itijime Shibori, screen and lino printing, I explored the tree’s contrasting qualities—its strength and fluidity, heaviness and lightness. The unpredictability of natural dyes and the responsive behavior of fabrics led to intuitive making, where meaning emerged through material interaction. I worked without a fixed outcome, allowing the story to reveal itself through touch, iteration, and process. What began as ambiguity evolved into clarity: a visual language rooted in Indian sensibilities, but abstracted for modern living spaces. The final compositions offer more than decor—they act as quiet storytellers, embedding cultural memory into the tactile rhythms of everyday life.
