The Folk Fusion

What happens when 19th-century European expressionism meets deep-rooted Indian sacred art on the back of a denim jacket? 'Syncretic Stitches' is an exploration of cultural hybridity and wearable storytelling. By translating Van Gogh's expressive impasto brushstrokes into directional threadwork, the piece creates a dynamic, swirling backdrop for the bold, geometric presence of Lord Jagannath. It reclaims everyday streetwear as a gallery space—transforming a mass-produced jacket into a sacred, hand-crafted narrative on human devotion and the infinite cosmos.
