“Almost all creativity involves purposeful play.”
-Abraham Maslow

My practice operates at the intersection of mathematics, mysticism, and materiality. I use geometry not as a means of achieving perfect order, but as a framework to interrogate how systems—spiritual, scientific, or cultural—shape perception and meaning. Drawing from sources as diverse as Islamic mosaics, South Indian kolams, the Fibonacci sequence, and sacred architecture, I create works that move between rule and intuition, structure and ambiguity. Recent explorations into chess—particularly the Knight’s Tour—have allowed me to question the aesthetic and philosophical implications of logic-based movement. Reimagined through vernacular forms like kolams, the chessboard becomes a site where mathematical rigor meets lived tradition.
Whether in steel sculptures that fold like origami or in drawings that chart cosmic patterns through constraints, my work engages abstraction as a critical language. I am interested in how formal systems—those that promise clarity—often give way to deeper ambiguities and paradoxes. By invoking both ancient knowledge and contemporary computational thinking, I aim to create spaces where abstraction is not an escape from the world, but a lens through which to examine it more deeply. In this tension between control and surrender, I locate a poetics of the infinite—a cosmos unfolding through form, number, and faith.
