The artist book description: This book places Mumbai and London in dialogue, not as comparison but as quiet observation. Having lived in both cities, divided by sea yet linked through histories of extraction and accumulation they reveal shared patterns of erasure, vertical growth, and contested belonging.
At its core, the work reflects on land: what happens when nature is cleared for the built, when forests become cities and creeks become infrastructure in the name of progress. Here, colonisation extends beyond its historical definition to an ongoing process of occupying and reorganising land, continually reshaping landscapes and erasing traces of what came before.
The book remains open, unresolved. Change is the only constant.
