Inspired By
[ from top to bottom, left to right ]
1. YOU'RE THE KEY : It seems these locks are on nearly every door I've noticed both on the inside and outside. I had an interesting conversation with a new friend and her mother about it. I was sort of sketched out by it because technically, anyone can lock you in any room with no way to get out thanks to bars (and of course these locks) on every window.
2. SPOOL : A little commemoration for the Gujarati Kite Festival.
3. IRON : I was in dire need of an iron and once one was purchased for me, it was love at first sight. I will not, however keep this little gem, but rather donate it for future Chhaap Residency folks.
4. BABY : A new friend's cousin had a baby and she took me to a special ceremony for the new little guy. Pretty fascinating stuff!
5. FRUIT WALLA : On nearly every corner there is a cart of some sort or another and I'm intrigued not only by the craftiness of the carts, but by the many different kinds of fruits I have never seen before.
6. Barred In : This doesn't do the beautiful old city, Baroada, metalwork justice by any means. Nor is it a great representation of bars on the residency's windows. But it is an abstract symbol of it. Depending on my time, I may give it another, more detailed, go. On another note, I always feel caged in and locked up around here - no pun intended - for real.
7. CIRCLE SYMBOL : Ah, just another abstraction patterned lino.
8. SUPPORT BEAMS : I was feeling extremely frustrated for a good number of reasons, while simultaneously intrigued by the tree trunks supporting cement construction work as I walked along to ease my mind. I decided it was clearly a sign that I needed some good solid support somewhere in my world.
