The series of photographs were created for the artist's 16-year-old daughter, Mannat, drawing inspiration from her Haikus and her profound fascination for Japan. This project commenced in 2023 during their inaugural trip to Japan together. The artist aimed to create an intimate souvenir to bring back to India, capturing the feelings and emotions experienced during their travels in Japan, and reflecting on the mutual influence and interpretation of cultures. Mannat's discovery of popular Japanese culture began with Studio Ghibli films, which blossomed into a fascination with Japanese writers such as Haruki Murakami and Kazuo Ishiguro. These influences profoundly shaped her perspective. Over two extended trips to Japan between 2023 and 2024, the artist developed a multilayered series of photographs, inspired by conversations with Mannat and her insights. The project evolved into a diverse collection of images, including documentation, collages, sculptures, and paintings on photographs. Various souvenirs collected during these travels were also integrated into the artwork, creating a narrative that bridges fantasy, fiction, and reality.
This endeavour represents the artist's interpretation of Japan, viewed through the lens of a father-daughter journey. Ultimately, the extensive collection of this project will be transformed into a book, accompanied by Mannat's Haiku-inspired poetry, serving as a tangible souvenir. It not only memorialises their experiences but also stands as a testament to the interplay of cultures and the enduring power of artistic expression.'
