ghar ki chai
tissues, tea, gouache. 2023.
(translation after images)

reframing growing pains in Hindi through my experiences with chai (tea).


chai from home.

everyday, dad makes chai. sometimes mom makes chai too. they make chai differently though. i dont know how to make it, like mom or like dad.
mom or dad?

cinnamon, clove, cardamom, peppercorn and ginger.
they use different pots too. 

i dont think they have anything in common. just me.
im here aren’t i.

every day you make chai.
i watch from afar, and i clean up the spilt tea afterwards.
