After practicing as an artist and musician for nearly a decade, my
studies in architecture has reshaped my approach to creative
practice. At its core, my architectural philosophy begins with the
body—its earliest extensions and expressions—and explores how
habit, ritual, community, and sound redefine space and the sense
of belonging we find within it. To me, this is architecture.
The Bubble Project is a lightweight inflatable structure that
embodies these ideas. Having been featured at the London Festival
of Architecture, Goldsmiths, and the Architectural Association,
the bubble represents an extension of the body—a womb-like space
defined solely by the presence of those who occupy it. It becomes
a vessel for intentional gathering and community, where meaning is
co-created.
Over the past year, my work has focused on the territorial scale
through a research-led exploration of nomadic tribes in the Ladakh
region of Kashmir. This project interrogated how cartographic
definitions of territory often act as tools of conquest, while
seeking alternative understandings rooted in pre-existing craft,
gathering practices, and community dynamics.
Beyond architecture, my evolving sound practice delves into the
origins of tonal instruments, focusing on the flute—the earliest
tool of melodic expression beyond the drum. By learning to craft
and play the flute, I aim to create sound works that enrich the
spaces I design. This exploration is about extending the body into
the ethereal, building a bridge to the mystic, and imagining
spaces that transcend the physical.
Together, these practices form a dialogue between body, sound, and
space—an ongoing inquiry into how we inhabit, create, and connect
with the world around us.
