About As Seen In: Media Features & Recognition
Seeing my work featured in publications like The Hindu, Reader’s Digest, and The National UAE is rewarding, but the real impact happens when these stories spark a change in your own home or office. Every article here documents how I bridge the gap between discarded tech and conscious art, turning a broken keyboard or a pile of motherboards into a serious conversation about sustainability.
Over the past twenty years, I have moved from the IT corporate world to the studio, documenting the environmental crisis through tangible, physical art. These features highlight more than just the aesthetics of my sculptures; they delve into the process of dismantling e-waste, sourcing materials from kabadi bazaars, and the engineering required to assemble these complex forms.
Why My Work Draws Attention
- Technical Precision: As an engineer, my process goes beyond simple assembly. Each piece requires understanding circuitry, heat management, and structural integrity.
- Environmental Advocacy: My goal is to use art as a catalyst for action. Whether it is a 25-foot mural at Orion Mall or a small desk accessory, each piece serves as a visual reminder of what we throw away.
- Educational Outreach: The media coverage often highlights my commitment to teaching. I believe that if you understand the anatomy of your gadgets, you become a more conscious consumer.
Whether you are looking to book a corporate team-building session where your team builds a collective mural, or you want to host an eco-art seminar, these features provide insight into the quality and philosophy I bring to every project. My work is not just about making things look good; it is about proving that we can rethink our consumption, one circuit board at a time.
