Microcosms

India is a country of varied seasons and climatic conditions. They range to extremes as you travel from one part to another as well as in one place round the year. Each season sends in a change. For instance, in winter, the months of summer are eagerly awaited, for the warm sunny afternoon they bring along. But when the days stretch hot and dry you await eagerly to feel the raindrops on your face. Here a season is often spent in anticipation of the next to come.

Project ‘Microcosms’ is an exploration of this anticipation. So when you pine for a cool breeze, waiting for a leaf to nod. You can glance at your table and see a miniaturized form of the breeze that might blow at your beck and call.

Jar of sunshine 

The jar of sunshine brings you sunlight from dawn to dusk, all day long. You can see the reddish glow of the morning sun move to a bright white afternoon and progress into an orange glow, overtime. You can look at the warm changing colors of the sun and the moving shadows it brings, when you long for sunshine on a cold dreary winter day

Jar of Rain 

This jar brings you shiny raindrops falling in a puddle of water. It creates beautiful ripples, splashes and brings to you a mini rainfall at your desk. It reminds you of what water splashes felt like in your backyard and brings in the experience of rain when you long for raindrops on a blazing afternoon.

Jar of Breeze 

The jar brings to you a feather fluttering away in the soft breeze. It allows you to get lost in the experience of the floating feather and reminisce of pleasant breezy evenings.

All the jars create a small, contained world for you, where you imagine yourself to be a part of the microcosm taking you away from your current surroundings.
