“Folks from Kerala” is an ongoing series that captures the spirit of everyday life in Kerala, the southern state of India, where I was born and raised. I focus on people in their daily routines and work, bringing their stories to life through illustration. To showcase a different perspective, I move away from the usual approach, using elements connected to each subject to highlight their individuality. Each piece carries its own mood through unique palettes and subtle stylistic shifts, yet remains part of a larger narrative.
