Home-sick is a hybrid artistic project based on long-term investigation into the medicinal plants of the trans-Himalayan belt. The project documents traditional knowledge systems, examines the immediate impacts of climate change on these species, and reflects on the consequences their loss holds for the ancient ecological knowledge embedded within Himalayan ecosystems.

This project began with a fellowship at Harvard University and has since expanded into research and fieldwork across trans-Himalayan regions—including Ladakh, Sikkim, Kalimpong, and Darjeeling. This work explores the socio-political and cultural lives of medicinal plants as they move through human maladies, traditional medicinal knowledge systems, climate urgencies, and the persistent threat of biopiracy.
