Identity Crisis
Being away from home made me appreciate and miss my culture a lot. I’ve grown up and spent my entire life in Kolkata, the streets of which are full of beautiful type. Most walls marked with hand painted typography for either an ad or a political campaign, these typographic murals are everywhere. For this project i wanted to explore the gorgeous bengali script and explore where i stand with my own culture. The aim was to mix my culture with the western influences I’ve come to absorb.

This was my first (succesful) attempt at constructing the bengali script. The behind the scenes looked pretty interesting too.
