Growing up in SoBo, artist Aaraan Patel developed a knack for framing old buildings he spotted in a way that does justice to their charm. So, when he learnt of visual artist and musician Jeff Nelson's works on how people use space, it fascinated Patel and he got in touch.

"Nelson takes bits of everything ranging from metropolitan decay to glory and creates a new language. We were both drawn to the changing conceptions of space in Mumbai. A quest to use land in different ways has been a part of the city's id­entity for 200 years. Today, se­eing projects completely transform the city and the fact that we stand to lose certain old-school buildings, got us thinking about doing this project," Patel tells us about Mumbai is Upgrading, a collection of digital artworks by Nelson that are based on Patel's photographs.
