Lunuganga: A Vanishing Afternoon
Description
Drawn during a quiet passage through Sri Lanka, these sketches are intimate responses to the architecture of Geoffrey and Bevis Bawa, and the lush, layered atmospheres that envelop their spaces. Created on-site at Bawa-designed properties, they reflect a meditative engagement with place – where gardens, shadows, and structures seem to hold memories in suspension. I was particularly drawn to the tension between order and overgrowth, elegance and entropy – qualities that echo the tropical modernist ethos and stir a quiet longing. These pages are not about architectural precision, but emotional orientation – mapping the spatial poetics of homes that feel both rooted and transient.
