Bindu is a design project exploring water as a material and cultural element, referencing Sanskrit cosmology. It emphasizes the duality of water, serving as a metaphor for renewal. The project features three designed objects—Pāvita, Sanchaya, and Kalasha—aimed at rethinking domestic water practices. These designs integrate Indigenous water-use traditions with contemporary practices to reduce dependence on synthetic materials. Pāvita replaces water for cleaning with repurposed wine corks, while Sanchaya collects steam from cooking for reuse. The overall aim is to challenge Western perspectives on water and promote sustainability through material recovery.
Pāvita is a dry-cleaning tool for dishes that repurposes used wine corks, replacing water in certain cleaning processes and addressing the environmental impact of wine waste.
Sanchaya is a cooking lid that condenses steam from boiling food into reusable water, developed with reference to ancestral distillation methods.
