I cannot imagine a world without art. I grew up signing out all the arts and crafts books I could carry from a local library when I was younger and watched Art Attack to learn how to create things. Even to this day, my mom would scold me for not cleaning up after my art projects. As I grew older, I focused on broadening my visual arts experiences but I also picked up photography, acting, and taught myself how to play with makeup and body painting. I started acting, directing and coordinating theatre performances for CanTYD (Canadian Tamil Youth Development) for their annual awards gala, and this was my main artistic outlet as I experimented with many others. I chose to go into photography because I wanted to understand why my maternal grandfather was addicted to photography, where he chased the civil war in Sri Lanka and eventually went missing. When I started incorporating my visual arts background into photography, I realized that the arts could intermix, and I haven't stopped experimenting since. I aspire to become an Art or Creative Director and take my creativity wherever I go. Currently, I am taking a break from photography to experiment with comedy, fashion design and visual art.

In this vertical video that was made for a Mental Health panel on @headedsomewear I discuss getting help outside of your friends and family, including my personal experiences with counselling. If you have any questions, or would like me to discuss any other topics, I will be more than happy to! Contact me by using the 'Message' button on my TC profile.
It's about time we started talking openly about women's sexual and reproductive health! I have PCOS, and all these year's with it I've felt alone, but when I started opening up about it to other South Asian women, I realized it's A LOT more common than you think. If you know nothing about PCOS, this video will be a very brief intro to it!
