Research
I began doing research of the ritual performing arts such as Teyyam, because of the realization of the immense artistic beauty of the subject.
I realized that in the rural villages, there are artistic treasures enriched by the generations of artists and artisans as an investment for the future generations to benefit. My research has been an attempt to pay my homage to those artists who had contributed to that artistic investment.
