Pxley is a collection of stories about place, culture, and memory. It began with journeys across different landscapes and gradually became a way of documenting the traditions, histories, and everyday experiences that connect people to where they come from.
Through essays, photographs, and reflections, Pxley explores how places are shaped by the people who inhabit them, the traditions they carry, and the memories that endure across generations.
The central body of work within Pxley is Explore Assam, a completed collection of essays documenting Assam's history, traditions, landscapes, crafts, foodways, spiritual practices, and lived experiences.
As a native of Assam who has lived away and returned, I draw on personal experience, research, and observation to explore the region's cultural life and the stories that continue to shape its identity.
Pxley began as a travel journal, recording encounters with places around the world. Those journeys shaped a deeper interest in how communities hold memory, how traditions evolve, and how people remain connected to places they call home.
Over time, that perspective returned to Assam, leading to a focused body of work documenting its cultural heritage and lived traditions.
