At the entrance of the installation, an abstract flight of birds overhead depicts the freedom of thought and creativity in young children. The wings gradually diminish and the birds tessellate into an array of boxes.

The form of the installation then compels the viewer into a ‘void’, a place to sit and contemplate, in the axial presence of “Maa Durga” - the source of energy, compassion and rejuvenation. This moment for reflection is intended to stir people into rethinking about the future of our children.

The overall experience of this art installation is to demonstrate a transcendental journey of freedom, agony and joy in childhood.
