Hozo is deeply intertwined with my own story — a story shaped by the land where I was born and raised. Jharkhand, a region rich with tribal culture, natural beauty, and artistic traditions that breathe through every community.

Growing up, I was surrounded by the captivating world of Jharkhand’s tribal art forms — the rhythmic strokes of Sohrai painted with earth pigments, the bold geometric patterns of Khovar, the symbolic motifs carved into wood and stone, and the instinctive creativity woven into everyday life. These art forms were not just visual expressions; they were living traditions, passed down through generations, reflecting the deep bond tribal communities share with the forests, animals, rivers, and seasons.
