Prince Tomar is a doctoral researcher at the Centre for Landscape and Culture, Tallinn University, Estonia. He works with borderland communities, with a particular focus on the dynamics of road development in the Himalaya, tracing the subtle interplay between infrastructure, territorialization, and the region’s intricate dance of history, geopolitics, and terrain.
He also writes poems and is interested in bridging ethnography and literary studies. His current project studies the spatial-temporal dimensions of the changes taking place in the Indian Himalayas due to the rising pace of road development projects.
"An object becomes a symbol when its own nature is so clear and so profoundly exposed that while being fully itself it gives knowledge of something greater beyond." - Yi-Fu Tuan, Space and Place, 1977.
