Threads of Identity
Project type
Illustration, Art Direction
Date
December 2023
"Threads of Identity" is an intimate exploration of my cultural heritage and personal journey through the lens of self-portraiture. Growing up in India, I've always been captivated by the intricate symbolism and vibrant colors of traditional woven carpets, each telling its own story.
In this series, I've merged my fascination with Indian carpets with the introspective nature of self-portraiture. Each self-portrait takes the shape of a carpet, symbolizing the layers of my identity and the stories woven into the fabric of my being.
Every carpet in the series features a unique color palette and symbolic motifs, reflecting different aspects of my identity and inner world. From the passionate reds to the serene blues, each hue carries its own message for introspection and self-discovery.
Through "Threads of Identity," I invite viewers to join me on a journey of self-exploration. Each carpet-portrait serves as a mirror, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own identities and the intricate narratives that shape their lives.
