Project - Inaashan



Inaashan

To look towards the future while acknowledging the past.

Meant to serve as the foundation for the development of future work, this story functions as a holistic, encompassing approach to art and design.

A journey across space and time told in five parts. Through an exploration of the past and present, we can begin to imagine a better future. To strive ahead, we must know those who came before us.

This is an ongoing project.
