The Masters collection, "The Beetles," draws on my childhood fascination with beetles and reimagines them through the visual language of Indian chintz. The project explores beetles as symbols of resilience, adaptation, and overlooked beauty. Through playful reinterpretation, it positions textiles as a dialogue between tradition and innovation, encouraging viewers to look closer at hidden details.
The collection combines traditional and digital techniques, producing two types of samples: tactile surfaces created with unconventional materials using traditional methods, and contemporary surface designs inspired by heritage crafts. Together, these pieces reflect a balance of memory, materiality, and creative experimentation.
