Participants

For Black. White. Crafted., her series explores minimal and maximal contrasts through dimension dot, line, plane, and object. Brass is primary, accented with terracotta, hammered steel, and banana-fiber tiles in a monochrome palette. Techniques reference Bastar hammering, sand casting, and Pokaran pottery, with cubes rusted and polished black.

For Black. White. Crafted., Bask presents a monochrome table setting that embraces pause and presence. In black, white, and in-between tones, the collection layers quiet shapes and subtle textures to frame food and conversation. It’s tableware designed to slow the moment simple, versatile, and made for gathering.

For Black. White. Crafted., Manan presents — Echoes of the Shipyard which observes Mumbai’s Coal Bunder, where vessels are built, broken, and absorbed by the shore. Amid welding and ship breaking, a quiet surface appears. Some ships depart with the tide; others rest and merge with the soil. The series reflects identity in transition and rhythms of labor.
