Sameer's BLUED series is an illustrated documentation of the use of Taad-Patri, as we call it colloquially in India. There is an optimistic tone in his works wherein they focus on how there is a delicate balance between humans and nature. In this show, the sentiment of Jugaad and making the best of a situation resonates with Sameer's work.

The blue of a tarpaulin is a common sight in urban metros in India. Blue Tarp is comparatively inexpensive and typically used as a creative jugaad solution due to the strength and convenience of the material. It is commonly seen at the street-side makeshift shops as a base to display their wares and keep them safe from the dirt on the roads. It is also used for waterproofing and windproofing and thus can be seen covering the houses of the poor and the rich. During monsoon, the city often seems like a sea of cobalt blue due to the excessive use of Tarps. Additionally, it makes for excellent sun-proofing, dust-proofing, pigeon-shit proofing, packaging, and temporary refugee camps.
