Ragas Of The Rooted Heart is a journey through the intertwined emotions of love, identity, and home. Shila, an Indian immigrant artist, reflects on her experiences in New York City while holding onto her deep connection to India. As she stands at the crossroads of two worlds, Shila navigates the complexities of cultural displacement, the evolving meaning of home, and the vulnerability of love.
Through poetic monologue and the soulful echoes of India through her lens, Shila invites us into her inner world—a place of longing, resilience, and quiet strength. She questions societal expectations, confronts the isolation of being an outsider, and finds solace in the memories of her roots. Ragas Of The Rooted Heart is a tender exploration of what it means to create a life, a home, and a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar land, all while staying open to love and the unknown.
