A good art practice needs exposure beyond its own lane.
Being at India Design ID was that for me. A chance to step into the design world and observe how material, function and space are approached with a different mindset. The conversations are different. The pace is different. The audience looks at objects with a question of use before emotion. That shift matters.
Walking the fair gave me perspective. It pushes me to think about how my work occupies space outside the white cube.
Design sharpens you. It forces clarity. It asks how something lives in the real world.
