Kanika Goyal Label

Kanika Goyal – “The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.” – Carl Jung

Culture arises and unfolds in and as play. It is here when we use our imagination to move beyond the bounds of reality. Play is the foundation of learning, creativity, self-expression, and constructive problem-solving. It’s how we wrestle with life to make it meaningful.

It induces one to learn to cooperate, work towards a common goal, respond appropriately to victory and defeat both, and grow in virtues like courage, humility, patience, and perseverance.

In this collection self- expression is encouraged by embracing play as we wear our hearts on our sleeves. The inherent exuberance from colourful graphics injects optimism in our lives. Tapping into another realm as its own kind of time travel, playful lines decorate and comfort the inner child. The familiarity brings a sense of ease and the unexpected stimulates as a new awakening beckons. The colour palette reflects our state of mind, with updated neutrals, light headed pastel tones of Lilacs and yellows; accents of saturated tones of orange and cerulean blue, highlighting garment panels as part of the modernist approach to colour-blocking.

Drawn from a myriad of iconic entities associated with Gujarat, the collection’s imagery is imbued with an energy that transcends the boundaries of graphic styles. The juxtaposition of graphs and fluid elements reflect the interaction of both the strategic and the spontaneous nature of play. The verbal and visual cues all point to the sheer magnitude and loudness in existence, encapsulating ultimately what being a titan is all about – dynamic and limitless.
