In a documentary on homelessness in Delhi in winter, a man sleeping on the road outside a night shelter says “Why should I go inside? Can the crowded room and tin roof compare to the starry sky out here?”
Thinking of the inside/outside of home using traditional ‘wasli’ paper-making technique, the ‘inside’ incorporates my grandmother’s old saree. ‘Outside’ features cloud motifs drawn from Indian miniature paintings.
