My drawings depict the psychologically fraught landscapes of people living in a place so unsettlingly foreign. . . . and the domestic and material cultures of the lives they have led and continue to lead.

I had been working with the history of the Punjabi Deli (both in writing and drawing). I loved the power of the Punjabi Deli, an unassuming 24-hour store in New York City, and how it has become a mecca for people all over the Indian diaspora to visit to feel at home and enjoy a delicious bite to eat.
