How do you translate

An Intangible Idea,

our spiritual relationship with the Earth, into a tangible exhibition experience?
THE CONCEPT

Woven, not separate

A language of symbols

Bhūmi, from the Sanskrit for earth, draws on Indian mythological lore to speak to a present-day ecological reality. Paintings and sculpture together, drawing on Prakriti, Purusha, Vriksha and Nandi, to build one visual language across three rooms in two cities.

BEHIND THE SHOW

What I owned

I led the exhibition end to end, from the curatorial narrative to installation, display design and the visual identity across every touchpoint.

ARTWORK LABELS
PRINT & COLLATERAL

One continuous story

Invite, save-the-date, artist's note, wall labels, one visual language carried across every printed surface, so the show read as one voice rather than a set of separate assets.

PRESS

Coverage across India

Previews, reviews and feature interviews carried the show past the gallery doors and into the national conversation.

THE ARCHIVE

The catalogue

At the heart of the archive sits the catalogue, a record that did more than document the artworks. It carried the ethos of Bhūmi through its own making: grounded in feel, organic in form, quietly attuned to nature at every turn.
