perhaps my favourite line of inquiry (and oddly, the least explored) - this is an inital attempt at literally visualizing kolam patterns, and how the experience can be made digital, and its beauty can be appreciated. this is a very rudimentary exploration
for me, kolam represents gentleness, welcoming, and organically representing what we feel. press c to clear your pattern
looking by aarati akkapeddi's work on kolam, i found the intersection between english and kolam even more fascinating as well - how a foreign language can be connected to my heritage more meaningfully, albeit taking a different line of inquiry
the resultant exploration is a constantly evolving charkha pattern that attempts to bridge cross-cultural traditional practices with technology
