The tree of life - a widely used, intricate Kalamkari motif can be used to represent various concepts and is a recurring theme of representation in my work this semester. 'The Roots of Culture' - An illustrated storybook for children rooted to the cultural context of Chennai, 'The Branches of Time' - A timeline and storyboard depicting life in lockdown, 'The Leaves of Craft' - An experiential map and postcards that represent the clothing of craft communities and 'The Fruits of Workshops', all led to the final game design 'Ajrakhpur' - based on the motifs and processes in Ajrakh blockprinting.

'Ajrakhpur' - components of the game.
'Ajrakhpur' - thematic and rule booklets.
Player mats designed for the game 'Ajrakhpur'.
'Ajrakhpur' - packaging and physical components.
