A triptych identity–India-Canada-Scotland—brings a longing for spreading like rhizomes, where poems decompose and become something new; where words, text and earth reflect the sky’s ever-changing performance. The ritual of burying is entangled with the act of deliberate planting, blurring distinctions between ‘past’ and ‘future’. Through these myriad threads, like the silk of a sari worn long ago, memories weave their way into the present; where hope also grows, unexpectedly.
