We loved working with 30 dancers, lantern cyclewalas, phoolwalas, family, communities and the creative team which allowed us to reimagine celebration into movement and form. Inspired by the idea that rangoli in itself is an offering, an act of devotion to the family, gods, the community and non-humans like animals and even ants that eat it. Beauty is ‘seva’. And so it became a gesture of care and connection. Extended into the process of making this piece alongside extraordinary people!     Directors: & of .studio

Commissioned by Apple. A collective celebration in motion. We recreated the spirit of Diwali in the shoot and on set, working with 30 dancers, lantern cyclewalas, and phoolwalas to reimagine rangoli.  We used the new features of iPhone, including the 8x optical-quality zoom to not only capture intimate moments but also a wide frame shot from 45 feet above the ground.

Our project explores how art, community, and devotion intersect in everyday Indian life.
In India, rangoli made from colored powder, flower petals, or grain is more than decoration; it is an offering. It is created at dawn, at thresholds, as a gesture of gratitude and welcome. It feeds ants, pleases gods, and greets guests as a quiet act of connection that turns beauty into seva (service).

For Howareyoufeeling.studio, this work continues our practice of using collaboration as a medium. Each project becomes a conversation between people, craft, and place, a way of transforming shared emotion into form.

// Even with trust in the room, touch felt confronting. Shame - so deeply woven into our bodies and our culture kept showing up. But with each take, something softened, and what began as an exercise became something necessary.

This piece asks: What happens when we move from witnessing bodies to being within them? How might collective embodiment serve as a tool for repair—not through catharsis, but through the quiet, consistent act of being present with and for one another? In this project, the camera almost felt incidental—just a witness to something deeper unfolding.

We are excited to share:

A public traveling installation and exhibition in Brighton/UK titled “A New Dawn” from the 23-26 of May.

We are invited by and to design the Brighton Festival 2025 brochure cover and do the principal art installation, reflecting on this year’s theme of a New Dawn.

For the first time in Brighton Festival’s brochure features four different covers—each one part of a larger participatory project where hundreds of people from diverse backgrounds, in India and beyond were invited to draw a ‘new dawn’.

These drawings capture the power and potential of the darkness before daybreak and together form a collective vision of renewal and possibility — A personal, subconscious rendering of hope, renewal and resurgence.

Inspired by album and theme for the festival we explore hope as a utopian impulse. Not passive but active as a creative force that propels individuals towards imagining new futures. In our research, this aligns with practices that are speculative, forward looking or rooted in world building. Each participant works as cartographers of possibility.

The concept extends beyond the brochure: workshops will take place across Brighton’s schools, public spaces, homes, and festival venues, allowing people to reflect and create their own personal New Dawn. This evolving, participatory act will culminate in an exhibition (May 24–27) at The Old Courtroom and expand internationally with workshops and in a global online canvas, bringing together drawings from around the world.

Finally, a travelling installation will pop up across the city throughout the month. Inviting you to sit.

It’s exciting that for the first time in Brighton Festival’s history, the brochure features four different covers—each one part of a larger participatory project where hundreds of people from diverse backgrounds, in India and beyond were invited to draw a ‘new dawn’. This process will continue throughout the festival — here are some of the many explorations..

In conceiving the idea for the cover we started a process in our studio in Mumbai alongside our team and . It was then extended to friends, family, schools, etc.

More-so, this wouldn’t have been possible without print artist who works with us and who managed the project and prints.

Excited to share more soon alongside and

This work was set up at .things.wtf and first offline platform at Snowball Studios in Mumbai.

Here’s a curatorial note that accompanied the work by friend and writer Shikha Gala:

We live in a time when the urge to create, grow, build and succeed holds prestige over all else. Burgeoning with aspirational narratives, we are haunted by the constant desire for growth. With this installation’s monolithic presence we want to present a play and shift in perspective, in its large, almost impersonal scale and bearing. While it may not warrant what one thinks is art’s traditional sense of beauty, there is an allure in the act of its deconstruction poised as a counter movement to the need to build and to the inherent notion of reason.
(WTF) “…IS ART” is poised to test the viewer’s willingness to relinquish the safety of the familiar, challenging the ways in which conventions become codified, and thereby mandating that we craft our own meanings rather than consent to habitual rules.
There is an urge to challenge and re-engage with the concerns of both the creative process and navigating the everyday world.

The installation is part of a larger inquiry that began with our wedding. We’ve been working with a community in Uran (Mumbai) that builds iconic depictions of Ganesh, gods, and other sacred images for the Ganesh Chaturthi festival using materials such as POP, clay, wood, etc. At the end of the festival, these depictions are ritually immersed and left to disintegrate in the sea. This allowed us to revisit ideas of permanence, construction/deconstruction and attachment.

Thanks to Jaydeep and his team at for their work and ongoing partnership.

Special thanks to and for holding it down, always.
