CONCEPT + MUSIC: Hanita Bhambri

LINK TO VIDEO

Hanita Bhambri is an Indian songwriter and musician. During the early months of the pandemic, she launched an Instagram and YouTube music series "#SingYouToSleep" to calm her followers amidst the stress of quarantining.

Each song in the series is an original composition, at a length of 60 seconds to accommodate Instagram reel limits.

We collaborated on the Insta Reel animation for the track "Kyun Ruthi Ho" (Why are you begrudged?), in which the singer talks to 'life' as an entity, asking why is it upset with us.

A Feast of Crows

ILLUSTRATION, ANIMATION

Eating crow is a colloquial idiom, used in some English-speaking countries, meant to convey an admission of being proven wrong after taking a strong position.

The crow is a carrion-eater that is presumably difficult to eat in the same way that being proven wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow.

LINK TO COVER

The July 2019 cover story focused on a sequence of judges showing controversial conduct while occupying the highest seat of the Indian judiciary. To visually communicate the erosion of "justice" by the hand of its own gatekeepers, a gavel in a judge's hands threatening the Supreme Court was imagined. The final cover was animated and promoted on the magazine's then relatively new Instagram handle.
