What is your favorite type of art to create?

PHYGiTAL Art ( Where I blend Immsersive emerging tech digital storytelling with analog hand made sculptural pieces ) Using Action figures and Ceramic sculptures integrated with social justice, symbolizing the fraught relationship between power , justice and societal responsibility integrated with satire based storytelling gets my creative juices exploding.

Where do you find inspiration?

Bollywood , Technology And New York City. The 3 muses which has blended within me such that every piece that I have produced or every project that I have worked on in the last 22 years ; is an extension of my being. My inspiration comes from the innate fire that burns within me from observing the inequality and injustice brazenly practiced by the leadership in every industry while spewing hypocritical words in the name of solutions among and within the high and mighty economic society.

What would you do with $25,000?

Eat basic food. Pay for daily expenses. Support my existence. Invest back into my ART.
