What's the meaning of art?
Art is a methodology of communication and expression that is based on emotion.

How is art different from design?
Design fulfills a set criterion or function and is confined to certain perimeters. Art is infinity, an adventure of the mind without boundaries.

What's your fascination with chilli and plants?
I wanted to explore the metaphor of energy in taste. Chillies have the most amount of energy and they are also connected to our culture. Once you delve into this concept, it just grows bigger and bigger.

What fascinates you most?
Nature. Space. Cosmos.

Famous last words.
Nine steps forward, three steps backwards.
