Sitting inside the box, Ahangama, Srilanka

February 17, 2026 in Travel Photos

Note: It was a hot day and I crossed this box of a newspaper stand everyday. I could sense that for someone sitting inside, it would be slightly uncomfortable but this man was engrossed in reading his newspaper.

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.
