A wedding shoot at dusk

February 16, 2026

Note: Walking on the streets of Galle, I saw this wedding shoot with a resplendent bride. All the passers-by had a smile pasted on their lips witnessing this moment.

Aakanksha is a designer, artist, and the founder of Anomalie/अनॉमली, a one-woman studio exploring the molten space between art and design. Beginning with making web apps in 2008, her practice has looped from paper to screen and back again to the tangible—turning drawings into objects that live off-screen.
At Anomalie/अनॉमली, her drawing and visual art practices are intentionally transmuted onto new materials: from skin-safe transfers to small-batch, limited-edition pieces. The studio’s first flagship project, Anomalie Tattoo Co., is an indie temporary-tattoo brand that collaborates with South Asian artists to translate their artwork into wearable form.
Beyond tattoos, the studio periodically releases experimental editions with artisans and other creatives—celebrating process, craft, and a playful, material-first approach.
