Memories with a Shelf Life is a publication that acts as a time capsule, preserving the heritage of the Kerala-Tamil Brahmin community in southwestern India. As globalisation presents diverse cultural choices, this project questions the endurance of our unique identity, traditionally passed down verbally. Through simplified gestures, it captures daily routines, offering a non-verbal record of a community's way of life. My work delves into heritage conservation, exploring how cultural identity can persist amid change while designing for a speculative future.
