ABOUT THE PROJECT:

Words have character. Irrespective of the language and script they are written in, they have character. Expressive calligraphy in contrast to the traditional forms is more dynamic and abstract by nature. Its is consumed more as an image rather than text.

 

For my project I had created compositions consisting of words from Hindi language which have their roots in foreign languages like French, Portugese, Chinese, Arabic, Urdu etc. These words mainly come from the languages of nations who had their colonies in parts of the country during different times in history or had trade relations with India. A good bunch of words that we use in our daily vocabulary have foreign roots which we are not even aware of.
