Artwork Description
Nikhil and Sonal’s installation piece “Wish Tree” is made out of junk cycle parts, objects which had once completely lost its momentum but is now back in motion in a new form. The piece aims to capture the continuous motion in which our lives are changing and gaining new momentum with every passing minute.
