An artist captures the North-East in aerial embroidery
Live MintIt is a bird’s-eye view of Loktak Lake that catches the eye—two lotus pickers rowing their boats on the freshwater lake, against a striking blue background surrounded by greens and pinks. Architect and urban planner Diti Baruah, who is from Assam, is a self-taught aerial embroidery artist who creates hyper-realistic landscapes focused on the cultural heritage and natural beauty of the North-East. “The scale of the view I am creating, and the balance between the different natural elements, is something I utilise from my architecture and city planning background,” Baruah says. “I always make sure to name each of my artworks so that even someone sitting in, say, Alaska gets to read the name of a heritage site in north-east India and learn that such a place exists,” she says.
