Bustling Bazaar
In 2022, as a recipient of the Gordon Peter Pickard Drawing Prize at the Royal College of Art, I traveled to Chennai from London to explore how the markets in my home town were different in comparison with markets set up by South Asian migrant communities in London. With the methods of documentary photography, on-site drawings and conversations with locals, Bustling Bazaar is non- linear collage of the market scene in Chennai, India.
