"Phoools" dives into an artist's obsession with the simplest of shapes - a few ovals rotated around a circle, universally agreed to be called a flower. As he starts seeing this pattern everywhere, from drain covers to textiles, his perception shifts. The line between observer and observed blurs, reality melts into imagination.
The film, being as abstract as briefs can get, was also shot generatively. We had a shared fascination, aim was to capture the essence of the motif - a shape that had begun to haunt my perception, surfacing in the most unexpected corners of reality.
All nighters
I throw wishes into the night and wait for the stars to catch them
