Dori

Ba & Dada were paired together by their parents in Gujarat when they were 3 & 5 years old respectively. Now aged 94 & 96 , their relationship is still evolving albeit the limbo that a long and healthy life leaves you in.

Dori (thread) looks to bind questions on love and family by observing an important relationship that the author grew up with as a child within a joint family, that of her grandparents. Incorporating her images with family archives and conversations, the book stands testament to a life shared between two strangers who met as children, and of their love through the ages.

The book dummy was shortlisted for the Kassel Dummy Awards 2019.
