02 / Context
A craft practice working with salvaged deadwood from Western Ghats species, evidenced by field documentation rather than by marketing material.
03 / Insight
Legacy is a working system, not a heritage story to be retold.
04 / Decision
Build a place-led narrative system grounded strictly in verified field documentation, regional heritage and ancestral stewardship. Inventing historical or commercial claims was ruled out.
05 / System
A material and story system built around salvaged-deadwood provenance, species documentation and craft process, translating regional materials and field knowledge into written and visual assets and installations.
06 / Execution
An immersive editorial web experience with custom layouts for field notes, material-provenance stories and installation documentation; a custom-built frontend and secure deployment.
07 / Outcome
Not yet measured. No pre-launch baseline exists, so no figure is published.
07 / Outcome
