My sense of belonging comes from what I inherited before I could choose work, tools, and a way of living shaped by pottery culture. Objects carry memory, labour, and class they record how people are seen and valued. Through etching, I engrave these experiences into metal, allowing them to surface slowly. Many of the practices I reference are disappearing because survival has become difficult. My work holds what is being eroded, documenting cultural knowledge that may not last much longer.

Yogesh grew up in a family of potters in Delhi, surrounded by clay, tools, and everyday acts of making. His earliest memories are shaped by craft and labour passed down through generations. Trained in printmaking, he works primarily with etching, using symbolic forms such as gullaks, chairs, and domestic objects to reflect social hierarchies and cultural erosion. Alongside his prints, Yogesh experiments with terracotta, cyanotypes, gum prints, and audio archives to document traditions that face gradual disappearance.
