Geese and Tortoise, 2001

Philately is the collection and study of postage stamps.

My stamp collection journey started as a young kid when I was gifted a stamp album by my uncle who was also an avid philatelist. Of the 4000 stamps I had then, I knew every specimen and would take hours to pore through those perforated windows to distant lands and cultures, trying to understand the stories hidden in them.

This project is an effort to tell the story of the world, one stamp at a time…
