A garden of ongoing work, thinking, and making. Things here are alive, some half-formed, some finished, all mirroring the direction of my curiosity. This is a nexus for who I am and my side quests.
Here you'll find simulations, field notes, teaching experiments, and questions still unfolding. I'm drawn to what emerges when we observe living systems closely. When we use our tools not to dominate them, but to see more deeply.
The tree above is a Tabebuia aurea — the Silver Trumpet Tree, originally from the dry woodlands of South America. There are a few of these right outside my apartment. Tabebuia aurea has a deeply cracked, furrowed bark, and termites take full advantage of this by building their tunnels into every crevice using the red laterite soil of this part of Bangalore. By the time the flowers arrive, the tree is encased in that earthy red, with no leaves, just clusters of bright saturated yellow on top. I find the palette really pleasing.
