Over a quick chat, Ishani talked about how the Hibiscus reminds her of her home and her mother. Barely 8 months into her move, she admits to often feeling adrift between the heritage city of Delhi that she grew up in, and the teeming city of Mumbai that she is trying to build a home in.

Through her photoseries, Ishani mentioned she channelled her inner Kali but at her most calm and even naive disposition, while still being fierce.
