This is a poster for a performance in MoMA choreographed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker called ‘Work/Travail/Arbeid’ which means Work/Work/Work it’s about how the chaotic and the hectic cycle of people is unending. For this piece she assigned one dancer to one instrument. The performance itself is 9 hours long. It’s my love for this piece that made me want to do something about this.
The credits for this poster got to Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, MoMA and the videographer of the piece.
I shut the door
THUD
My mother, my uncle and my grandmother turned to look at me.
My mother asked, “Why are you panting?, Did you run?”
I stood there in shock, breathless
My mother standing at the kitchen table, turned to her stripping
leaves from the stalk, uncle sleeping on the sofa flipping channels, mother glanced at me again,
“Why did you run?”
There was silence.
My grandmother was busy cleaning a pot.
“i was touched”
Silence
My mother took a deep breath
It was my uncle who broke the silence,”The roads are very dangerous these days no?”. He said to my mother. Got up from the sofa and walked inside towards the kitchen table.
I was standing there. All I could feel was my cheeks, they were turning hotter and my ears, they were experiencing a kind of ringing which I prided myself for having every now and then as I believed it to be and still do to be the sound of the universe.
My grandmother was scrubbing off any dust she could find on the pot.
My mother, stripping the leaves from the stalk asked me, “do you want Upma or Idli we have both.”
i never liked upma

This is a poster of a Yayoi Kusama Exhibition in the Mori Arts Museum in Tokyo. I made the poster in a similar format to the usual museum posters in Japan. They are either bilingual or they make identical posters in Japanese and English. I tried my hand at making my first bilingual poster. I am learning Japanese right now so, that helped me at putting this together.
This is not an exhibition that took place. The photograph used in this design is not mine, the credit has been given to the artist and the photographer in the work itself.
A banner to advertise ongoing Plays Unpleasant to the visitors and passers by around the Chowmahallah Palace.
Tickets to Plays Unpleasant by George Bernard Shaw by Little Production in Chowmahallah Palace.
Playbills are not often given where I live but, I made some for my hypothetical theatre production, George Bernard Shaw’s Plays Unpleasant by Little Productions theatre company. The animals represent the characters in their respective plays.
I also designed the inside page. Since this is a very small production, the playbill will be small too. But, there will be on playbill for each play.
