EarthStructure II was a continuation of my explorations of the Shiv Nadar University campus which, with its immense flat land and considerable amount of surveillance, offered the backdrop for the construction of these structures. 

Having grown up in a forest away from the city, the shift to the neatly organised landscape of the university was a bit disorienting, and I felt the need to introduce an element of intimacy- to create spaces which in some way echo the spaces of the body.

An important element of the project was also the process inherent in negotiating with the administrative authorities; the allocation of space and explaining its function. This offered new directions within the project, as I had conversations with the people and regulations that control the land, and also those who care for it, the two not always being the same. 

The works function as conversations between me, the institute, and also those who inhabit the campus.
