This led to my kickoff solo show at The GAP Arts Project and a number of student-led collaborative shows both at Margaret Street and an interim evidence at the CET Edifice in Coventry. The malleability of the class meant that I was able to residue my exercise alongside my writing and was supported by my tutors to have up a research trip to Punjab - this developed into a short documentary moving picture (Finding Infinite in Organized religion, 2018,), in which I explored my developing relationship with faith and family.
