Illustrator and graphic designer originally from India, Radhika Chitalia has lived and worked in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the past 13 years. Alongside her commercial design practice, she creates deeply personal, hand-painted works that explore memory, emotion, psychology, and the meaning we attach to everyday objects.
One of her most poignant projects began with her late father’s expired passport. A passionate traveler, he had dreamed of spending his retirement exploring the world with Radhika’s mother, but passed away before those plans could become reality. Years later, while sorting through the last of his belongings, Radhika came across his passport. Unable to throw it away or leave it forgotten in a drawer, she transformed it into a beautifully illustrated memory capsule, a deeply personal tribute that preserves not only his journeys, but also the dreams he never had the chance to fulfill.
