Installasjonen er utformet for et rom på 8 x 4 x 8 fot og består av tre deler: en bakvegg, en stor stein og en mindre stein som kan brukes som sitteplass. Besøkende beveger seg gjennom omgivelsene og betrakter form, farge, lys og skygge, noe som gjenskaper følelsen av å bevege seg gjennom canyonen.

This type of origami is called Modular Origami and the name of this module is "Sonobe".
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this art installation was to transport it from one place to another. But with a little bit of brainstorming, we were able to figure out the logistics for packing and sending it to Delhi from Jaipur.
- Research
- For thr research of this installation, I took help from varios picures of the Canyon on the internet to get inspired by the forms, colours and light and shadow. I also read about the Canyon, about its history and how it was created.
- Inspiration
- The Grand Canyon inspires this art installation where in the idea was to recreate the feeling of walking through the canyon by bringing in the elements like the form, the colour as well as the light and shadow.
I've never visited the Grand Canyon myself, but I've always been captivated not only by how stunning it might appear surrounded by those majestic, almost divine rocks, but rather by the potential emotions it could evoke in me. - Project Duration
