“It was a great experience being here. As a local artist, I was bored of my life in my own studio, so I came here to get a change which I wasn’t able to get anywhere else. With Mumbai being a natural harbour, the very location itself of Space 118 allowed me to experience how The Port Trust area has such a distinct unique energy from its front façade, the Fort area- I was able to experience the “backstage of Mumbai’!”
