Our Story
I AM THE OCEAN was born from the creative inspiration of Siddhi and A.D Desai‘s passion and appreciation for art in all its majestic forms. The Art Luxury House endeavors to Create Conscious Change in order to create a better future for coexistence.
But I AM THE OCEAN, The Art Luxury House, is not about its two Co-Creators. It is about each individual who shares our vision.
The “I” in our name is not about us, it is about “You.”
You Are The Ocean.
You are the writer of your own story. Make it your own.
