Inherited Endurance
Absence as inheritance

This series draws from fragments of my ancestral homes in Chettinad: corridors, thresholds, columns, and rooms that continue to stand long after their original rhythms have faded.
I print these spaces as partial images within expansive fields of quiet, holding memory as something spatial rather than narrative. Architecture becomes a witness to presence and absence, access and restriction, inheritance and endurance.
Silence here is not empty, but weighted. Stillness is not an end, but a form of endurance. As material inheritance reshapes relationships, memory continues to circulate, quietly and persistently, through space, language, and touch.
