This soft, leather-bound book, serves as a sentimental timekeeper. A tacit way for people, so near yet so far to keep in touch. Parent and child, lovers or siblings. It bridges the two geographically, as it did for Priya and Tony, now husband and wife, from Memphis to Bombay.

Artist statement: This is the first artists’ book I made, born out of a wish to know what the time was in Mumbai and what Tony would be doing at all times. Though I was in Memphis, it made me feel closer and connected to Tony.
