Vehaasa tells the story of a fearless journalist in 1974 whose writings challenged powerful forces.
Separated from Mela because of the dangers surrounding his political work, he continued to write truths many wanted silenced.
When he disappears after receiving threats, the only traces he leaves behind are hidden within the newspapers he once wrote for.
A private archive gathered by Mela, where verses written by Vehaasa in 1974 are preserved alongside notes, sketches, and remnants of thought.What was written for the public endures here as a quiet correspondence meant for one.

There is a place, where mornings begin gently
a thin line of sunlight
touching a lonely window, before the world is fully awake.
A place where mist moves slowly
across a far pond, that forgets to ripple
unless the wind insists.
Sacred lotus rise there,
opening like small promises
on days that feel heavy.
An ancient fallen tree rests nearby not broken,
just tired in a beautiful way time can understand.
Tall trees keep the shape of the sky,
and 4 peacocks walk the path, as if they
were painted into it
7 centuries ago.
Rain comes without warnings,
and leaves as quietly as it arrives.
No one owns this place,
yet everyone who dreams, has seen it
somewhere
inside themselves
