The book presents the promise of democracy enshrined within the preamble of the Constitution of India, in Braille. Being the most religiously diverse country in the world, India’s democratic republic is premised on a national belief in pluralism and an assimilative culture. Rendered in Braille and thus reduced to various unreadable dots are words that spell out the fundamental principles, procedures, powers and responsibilities of the government and also the fundamental rights and duties of citizens. What you see are a series of images that evoke neural patterns constantly changing, transforming where the dots/words break open, blot, clot, smudge and stain the pages.</div>
