Water holds the light of the sun that does not touch us.






A substance that is life itself. A liquid that reflects human emotions ,brings tranquility and calmness and yet at the same time floods villages and cities. For centuries, Human’s have had a fascination with water.  It is a source of beauty and mystery that will forever be a part of our lives. Azure is a short publication that is a love letter to water.

As a child growing up in a coastal city, I have always had a deep connection to water bodies. I wanted to portray that fascination in this project. Inspired by the book Blue Mind Theory by Wallace J Nichols. This publication dives into our relationship with this substance  and its beauty, color and calming effect. The publication is created within a visual style of halftone in colours of Ultramarine and Aqua, colours that are connected to the ocean. Azure will take you on a journey of a monologue romanticizing water backed by interesting facts based on research done in the real world.
