Waste is not the end. It is where I begin.
I work with organic kitchen waste such as banana peels and eggshells collected from everyday spaces, transforming them into biomaterials, natural dyes and hand woven textiles. The process is intentional and tactile, rooted in the traditions of zero waste living I grew up with in India and shaped by contemporary material research. Through Peel Studio, I explore how craft can become an act of care, fostering connection between people, materials and community. Each work reflects a thoughtful relationship to making and material life.
