I am currently working as a Faculty at the Art and Design Programme of IIT Kanpur, while exploring my creative pursuits. I have been involved with participatory public art projects ever since my Masters. These works have always helped in anchoring me to the social realities in which I live, not only as a spectator but also as a participant of the social construction or destruction and its recipient. the other side of me is struggling to evlove a language for the confessions of daily life of failures and achivements. this 'other' half of me is expressionist which assists me to come in terms with myself.

I have been experimenting with installations and participatory public art projects, since I passed out of Shantiniketan (MFA)three years back. I designed and executed Ahmedabadi Encounters05 and Mirror Ahmedabad -two pioneering attempts of public art in Gujarat.
My video installation on fasting was recently exhibited in New Delhi and South Africa in an International group show inaugurated by the President of India on the occasion of the centenary year of Satyagraha.
