The Sex Book

Published by HarperCollins, 2022

I illustrated The Sex Book by Leeza Mangaldas, a comprehensive and inclusive guide to sex, the body, and everything in between. As one of India’s leading voices on sexuality and pleasure education, Leeza’s writing needed visuals that were warm, approachable, and reflective of the book’s spirit.

My illustrations aimed to make complex and often sensitive topics feel accessible and joyful. From anatomy to consent, the artwork supports the reader’s journey of learning and unlearning with care and clarity.

This project reflects my larger practice, using art to support education, spark conversation, and centre empathy.
