Tulika Shrivastava is a designer and multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the emotional and architectural poetics of space. Her practice centers on everyday architectural elements such as grilles, gates, and window lattices, that often go unnoticed, transforming them into meditative objects of inquiry. These structures become visual metaphors for boundaries and thresholds, navigating the tension between public and private, containment and permeability.
Tulika’s sculptural and two-dimensional works employ repetition, pattern, and ornamentation to reflect on memory, protection, and intimacy. By foregrounding functional design elements as carriers of familial and cultural significance, her work gently questions what we inherit, what we guard, and what we choose to reveal or conceal. In reinterpreting these motifs, she uncovers their hidden resonance in our domestic lives.
