SOROSHI MICHELLE
ART
Soroshi Michelle’s practice considers the relationship between the self and the natural world. Working across drawing and sculpture, she looks to natural forms and processes as a way of understanding human experience, particularly transformation and resilience.
Raised in Goa, India, Soroshi’s visual language draws from the rhythms and movement she observes in nature. In her ink and line drawings, repetition and gesture create forms that shift between the organic and the abstract. These gestures continue in her sculptures through wrapping, binding and layering, giving physical form to ideas of growth, change and renewal.
Nature provides both a visual language and a model for thinking about time and memory. Within Topographies, her practice invites us to consider the role the natural world plays in how we understand and construct a sense of self.

The food follows Soroshi’s artwork themes — growth, layering, time and memory.
We have chosen Xacuti curry as well as Bolo Sans Rival cake, two quintessential Goan dishes, to represent the artist's themes. The bites are designed to reflect the landscape and food culture that shaped the artist’s relationship with nature.
FOOD
Jackfruit Xacuti Pao
Goan milk bread, Green Jackfruit, Coconut & tamarind curry
The curry unfolds in layers: woody roasted spices, caramelised aromatics, earthy tamarind, ending with a gentle sweetness from coconut and jackfruit. Like growth marked into a tree, each layer carries traces of what came before. Tamarind cuts through the intensity of the spices, suggesting how periods of stress and weathering can rupture what exists and make space for transformation and new growth.
Bolo Sans Rival Entremet
Cashewnut cake & mousse, Nutmeg cream, 70% chocolate
Cream and cake are delicately layered with patience (time) and care, echoing the gradual formation of a tree’s rings. Crisp chocolate shards form a protective exterior around the soft inner layers that hold memories of growth, while nutmeg brings a woody note that feels reminescent of Soroshi’s relationship with nature.
