“In my hometown of Kanchipuram—fondly known as the temple city of South India—I have been deeply inspired by the lives and craft of the weaver communities that surround me. Growing up amidst their dedication and intricate weaving techniques, I was moved by their focus, patience, and the rhythmic beauty of their craft. This Aari work is a tribute to those weavers and their world — a homage to the textures, patterns, and quiet strength of the community that has shaped my artistic vision.” 1
