Had a wonderful time photographing my friend Vanessa Meister, a graphic designer and creative consultant. I first met her during my exhibition “Under Eiffel’s Watch – A Parisian Canvas” at Alliance Française Trivandrum, where she had designed the poster for AF’s 45th anniversary. We realised that we share a shared interest in forms, shapes and patterns, and that became the starting point for this series of photographs.

For me, photographing Vanessa was not just about making portraits but about exploring the dialogue between design and photography, how the eye that creates also becomes part of what is created. The frame then holds not only the designer and her work, but also the philosophy of making itself: that creation is never fixed, it continues to shift and open new meanings.

What stayed with me was the sense that even when a work feels complete, there are always new ways to see it, to connect with it, and to let it speak again, through the presence of the person who created it.
