Portraits / Krishnan Unnikrishnan

Fluid and creative, an adaptable outsider who bridges the cultural landscapes of rural Kentucky and India. He is a deep listener and dynamic spirit, always in transformation. Feeling seen and open, yet sometimes ungrounded like a drifting balloon, Krishnan navigates the tension between overjoyed energy and existential weight. During a recent transformative experience at a workshop on Laurel Island he embraced community support and fictional character play, which seemed to mark the beginning of a new chapter, shedding the habit of people-pleasing. Visualizing himself in a transparent holographic box, Krishnan connects deeply with nature and meaningful relationships outside societal distractions, striving for growth and deeper connections.
