I was fascinated by the representation of emotions, and the translation of abstraction through figuration. I extrapolated the same logic to modern Indian poetry. I researched flowers and their significance in society, their habitat and unique blooming patterns, connecting these peculiarities to emotions in the poems I was reading. The poets were both renowned and obscure, reflecting flowers both widely known and tucked away, known by few. The purpose of this, in hindsight, was to find different floral forms to work with, departing from the usual floral motifs found in the Indian design vocabulary.
