Three different processes to make chai represented in dot work cryptography. The structure of the element changes as integral ingredients are incorporated.

Project Description

The tribal woman from the state of Gujrat receive tattoos (trajva) through out their life that indicate identity and ward off evil. It is often made up of dots and simple lines that can be translated into code. The way I make my chai every morning is such a strongly in tune ritual. The way in which I enact my method can indicate my mood or the time I have. It in a way indicates my own identity. It is something I am known for amongst my friends. The making and the sharing of my chai. The moving parts of the chai process can be shifted and reordered and that can be seen in my break down above. Adding the Tea leaves first or adding the spices first or no spices at all. You end up with similar but different forms. And more breakdowns can be made with the code with similar outcomes. I explore different final outcome forms even if the ingredients were the same as the process inherently to me changes to the flavor profile and whole experience of the chai. It can be interesting to explore additional factors such as the method in which it was cooked (in mug vs on stove). Along with the dots being more accurately representative of the nature of the ingredient.
