Tetso Imchen
a hilltop village in Nagaland, India
Tetso spends his days navigating the winding paths of his small hilltop village in Nagaland, lugging his trusty sprayer and a crate of makeshift traps to keep the village free from pests. Despite his uncanny ability to remember every face he's ever seen, his mind wipes clean of names the moment they're uttered, leaving him reliant on warm, apologetic smiles. By night, he channels his angst into art, waiting for the perfect weather conditions to finally capture the haunting harmony of ticking clocks and invisible critters.
