My connection with nature began in the rainforests of Wayanad, while I was on a school trip. I have been introduced to ecology since I became a part of Marudam school and community in 2021, which has added a new layer to this connection. I’m an artist, and I’ve found it very satisfying to bring ecology and art together. I engage with various age groups at the school, and I hope to facilitate more nature engagement for young people in the future.
