Not in love.
Not in nature.
Definitely, not in death.
In fact, death makes a forest come alive in a way that no designed intervention can.
These site images from Franklin park frame dead trees side by side with the life that bursts out of it - in an alternating carousel. Call it what you want you want - detritus, biodiversity, food, energy, wood, carbon, mushrooms, lichen, moss, termite, wood bugs, woodpeckers.
It is life as much as it is death.
Whatever it might be, would you call it the end?

I see why people stay in America. Maybe they stay for capitalism and money, but I see what could make me stay.
No I am just kidding.
So I decided to start with love.
Isn’t it obvious?
Isn’t the numbness of death the exact opposite of the intensity of love?
Because hate is nothing but love in a mask.
For context - Bubbles is the Northern Red Oak outside my room. I have shifted my life to orient it towards him this semester. My study table, my pillow, my carpet, my thoughts, my heart, my time - Bubbles is the centre of my universe, starting new moon of 2026.

I just finished my Semester 1 and I’m still processing it.
This last project genuinely broke my brain for a while. There was too much reading, too much thinking, too many ideas colliding at once, and it took forever to explain what I was even trying to do. Early reviews were rough - a lot of “we don’t understand what you’re trying to achieve” - and honestly, they were right. I was holding too much at once.
But iteration is the most powerful thing on planet Earth. Designing over and over again, explaining the work to multiple people, and experimenting with different visual styles eventually led to a really banging final review. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. They loved it, gave great constructive feedback, and I can now die peacefully. Hehe.
mentored me through all my shit days to finally see a bright end. I am indebted to you.
you gorgeous man thankyou for the photos ❤️
About the project: Rooted Neighbours
What if climate action began below our feet?
This project treats soil as a living network, not a surface. The design proposed community building through soil building - where soil health is developed over time through mycorrhizal relationships, chop-and-drop cycles, and layered plant communities.
It’s a slow project by design - not about planting trees but about growing soil. Fast plants start the work, specifically designed fungi associations carry it forward, and climax trees benefit decades later.
And you humans can participate in a coppicing carnival while enjoying a bbq on the river side. Thats the vibe.
And honestly, it is as brutal as I imagined, worthy of the fear. But it also holds a beauty so unique that it can only be understood by living inside it. Don’t get me wrong: it’s tough, painful even. I’m writing this with a fever and a sore throat because I don’t know when to stop.
And yet, winter opened up a whole new dimension. Snow accentuates every line and curve of a tree, resting on its branches so softly, as if there is love between the two. Tree forms emerge with a clarity I had never seen before. It’s a way of seeing I didn’t know I was blind to, and a sight I would give a million dollars for. But I can’t because I’m in debt.
My Indian gang, do you know of state parks in India that let you use the space as a recreation? No ticket, no entry just free flow? I know sections of forests in the hills are like that but are they regulated state parks with budgets and maintenance teams? My understanding is that there are national reserves and wildlife sanctuaries but no state parks. But I can be very very wrong.
Nonethelss, we went to volunteer to create culverts that would prevent flooding on the trails. truly did that while I picked up a total of 10 stones. I did sketch and collect some cooler things, I believe.
gave us a generously vague assignment to create a drawing/art about a plant of our choosing. Mine was the weeping willow.
Recognising no human in a foreign land was expected, but not recognising even one tree kinda shattered my heart. Eventually, I found a weeping willow and recognised it because it also grows back at home.
And I was like phew!
This pen sketch is by this special child by the Charles river in Boston, MA who cascades in the wind like a lover’s hair.
PS: There is a very thin line between creepy willow and magical willow, and I think that the vibes of the environment define that line. No?
Absolutely everything was sourced from the 2 year old forest and it was peak summer so it was a tough harvest. More fruits and flowers- things you eat fresh, less vegetables and greens to cook and make a meal with.
We kinda killed it regardless. 🍀
Wish I could you tell you more, but somethings are only experienced offline.
SOM is a holistic wellbeing space, designed to nourish the mind, body and soul through Ayurveda, Yoga, Sound Healing and Naturopathy.
The brief was to design a landscape that supports all of these experiences. We decided to dive deep into the stories of the region to find ancestral remedies and medicinal herbs. What you see in the post are a few of the 50 different species that we identified and planted. The landscape is now a combination of small private gardens attached to each therapy room and a large common garden that can facilitate medicinal plant tours and explorations.
We are in the process of integrating the leafs, stems, seeds and flowers of these plants in the therapies offered at SOM. Different parts of plants can be used as packs, scrubs, essence, detox teas, potlis, powders and so on.
I’ll tell you my 3 favourites:
1. Crushing and smelling the leaves of the camphor tree gives me the best sensory overload 🍀 Camphor leaves can be used directly in a lot of massage oils and potli remedies.
2. Stevia, which I pluck and eat everytime I visit has a superb flavour. It’s a natural alternative to sugar, the leaves can be directly added to teas and drinks. Even though there is some speculation around stevia, I quite like it.
3. The anti-inflammatory black turmeric, (which is actually blue on the inside!?!) kind of dies in the winter and then comes back in the summer. It’s real magic. As of 2016, Black turmeric has been listed as an endangered species by the Indian Agricultural Department. Find it in the last photo. I cant even begin talking about its health benefits.
Let me know what you think??!?!?
