Project Scope: Printmaking, Symbol Design | 2018
Details: Project done at RISD Summer School in Rome
Brief: Explore the wild urban landscape of Rome through the combined lens of art and history with the aim of investigating new ways to make poetic work in response to the place.
Concept: Since Romans were the first to invent the drainage system, manhole covers are in plenty in Rome; each one bearing a different design. Contrary to the elaborate Roman architecture, the art adorning the chiusinos is very modest and bare. This project aims to bring people's attention to the same. The project was also taken forward to map out the symbols on manhole covers over the world.
