My aspiration is to create a space that changes the way a person percieves a certain issue or topic. The space must reach their hearts and minds, urging them to think about it in more ways than one, therfore enabling the viewer to be constantly reminded of the space once they have left it.

Dela by Dias

Dela by Dias is a collaboration between two artists/ designers Sagarika Dias and Shania Dias. With their design background and education in architecture and interior design respectively, the practice of daily sketching and maintaining a sketchbook has become second nature. This practice intensified in the long hours of the 2020 quarantine and it motivated them to channel this energy into something productive and meaningful – the Dela journey.

Through this process, they hope to make their art accessible and functional through a variety of paper products like cards, bookmarks and stickers as well as textiles like tshirts and totebags. With each new collection, they aim to create memorable pieces that are intricate, layered, relatable and even humorous.
