Abha Mahal Bagh
by Pradip Krishen Book Illustration forMeherangarh Fort Trust 2019
This is an archive of 42 desert plant species of India, which was commissioned by environmentalist Pradip Krishen. Amidst the arid desert terrain of Rajasthan (India), a garden has been set up by the Meherangarh Fort Trust to raise awareness about the indigenous plants of the Thar Desert. I spent two years observing the garden and collecting plant samples to draw from. The project consisted of signage posts that were placed in the garden and a book with detailed descriptions of the plants by Pradip Krishen.
