“The Macro theme Bachpan draws from a collective yearning for simpler times, rooted in the pre-digital, analogue era of Indian childhoods. This nostalgic trend takes refuge in tactile memories of grandma’s home, where mismatched bedsheets, crochet doilies, the soft hum of a ceiling fan are recreated as familiar concepts to offer a sanctuary of comforting imperfection. Pattern takes center stage—whether in the form of vintage wallpapers, textured weaves, hand-stitched embroidery hoops, or the iconic imagery of Ravi Varma calendar art.”
