Down the Memory Lane

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Moments in history
Part of fleeting time
Too precious to forget; too unique to recreate
Archive of memories, captured tales
Frozen forever,
Old photographs and places I remember ......

As a native of the cultural capital of Gujarat- Vadodara, I grew up listening to stories of this amazing place. Photographs are a great medium to understand the cultural history of a place. For my print project I am inspired by vintage photographs clicked preserved by my family and archives of the city museum.

This project is an industry collaboration with RGC Inc. Prints for this project are developed for the brand Umbrale located in Santiago, Chile. The design process is based on the trends for SS/ 22 and the colour theory, design language of the brand.
