Join me as I transform everyday moments into vibrant, thought-provoking illustrations, crafted with meticulous detail —because even the mundane deserves a little pizzazz!

In my series of conceptual editorial illustrations, titled "The Social Media Chronicles: Filtered Reality," I explore the multifaceted nature of social media culture, drawing inspiration from my personal experiences and the perspectives of my Gen Z peers.

Objectified Entree: A Feast of Despair” is a powerful editorial illustration inspired by the hidden realities of Mumbai’s infamous red-light district, Kamathipura.

The girl with the mallet symbolizes our ongoing fight to conquer these fears. Every time she “whacks” an insecurity, she earns a ticket, inching closer to her goals. The empty holes hint at the insecurities yet to come, reminding us that with each challenge overcome, we’re one step closer to victory.
