Platter

Stainless steel thali platter arranged with rice, bread, and small bowls of food, rendered in grayscale tones to emphasize form, texture, and balance.

A stainless thali platter sits arranged with small bowls of familiar foods, rendered in muted grayscale tones. The composition centers on ritual: the placement of bread, rice, vegetables, sauces, and small sweets. By removing bright color, the painting focuses on form, memory, and nourishment. This piece is part of a five-painting comfort food series exploring the quiet emotional weight of meals that feel like home.
