INSPIRATION
AN ORDINARY MID-DAY
KOLKATA STREET
There is a pattern of life, elements of the
city predominantly the yellow taxi, old
buildings, buses painted in blue and
yellow, and tangled wires collectively
make it recognisable as Kolkata.
But why this picture? the composition of
the one-point perspective or the
emotions it evokes in me?

KEYWORDS

are a few explorations trying to
bring out the essence and
choosing one to go forward with

their own specific directions, taking
small pauses in between to
observe and enjoy art and literature

surroundings, being tolerant and
unhindered by foreign elements it
co-exists together beautifully

MORE EXPLORATIONS
curving the lines was losing the essence of
the frame and circles with the lines gave
more cohesive feel to the frame

someone who is expressive & creative, who enjoys the
crowd and wants to show that out to the world, someone
who likes to explore and never stops trying, someone who
enjoys the present, likes the process than the goal, who is
slow-moving and finds achievements in connections

Simplified
the frame
Streamlined the frame a little bit into smaller fragments to capture the essence of
it. The overlapping lines with dotted pauses move unhindered by bigger
spherical elements; a cohesive feeling.

Ideations
Tried to visualise the frame in the form of
furniture, lighting, installation but it seems to
be losing its essence
