Another flower, another memory with my Aama (grandmother). She initially didn't have hibiscus in her own garden. She loved her roses.

When she moved in with us, she could see the hibiscus mum had planted. They were right below the balcony aama liked to sit during her afternoon tea. Then the plants were only just growing. She’d casually mention they would grow very tall. Now after three years since she’s gone, they are indeed ‘very tall’.

‘Mero Aama ko Bagicha’ (My Grandmother’s Garden) Series 

 

The last time my granny walked around her garden was on a warm sunny afternoon. I followed her around, as I had done as a child, while she soaked in her flowers in full bloom. Her yellow maxi perfectly matched that warm day. 

 

She had a stroke a few years later. With her movement restricted,  we placed her bed next to the window.  We would chat all afternoon looking out the window. Our chats most certainly included flowers, whether I had eaten or not and almost always interrupted by the birds on the trees as the sun set. 

 

I started the collection in 2017 to keep her engaged and interactive. A few months after I launched the collection, she passed away. 

 

Every year I still create pieces for her, in her memories. She was my soul friend. The collection is a dedication to her for loving me, letting me be her friend, for trusting me. Most importantly because words will never be enough to express the amount of love, admiration and respect I have for her and how much I miss her every single day.
