This image is photographed with action figures, a mask, and tech scraps only. The image is based around a conceptual dystopian world of gods among mere mortals and the dynamics of power it would create. Behind the scenes: It all started with a mask. Have been tinkering around the idea of being able to show massive scale through my images. For this setup, my ever-so-patient sweetheart partner Alisha was able to help me out by posing for the image. I'm using the word 'patient' loosely cause this image took a whole night to photograph.
I was in the perfect setting to create this one. 'Makers Asylum, Goa', is a playground for artists, designers, engineers or anyone who wants to get their hands dirty and make their ideas happen! While everything shut when India went into national lock-down, the M-19 initiative started and in 49 days we were able to activate 42 cities, towns, and villages through their open-source design and give over 1 Million M-19 face shields through #theM19Collective.
