Message in a Bottle
entry for an art contest organized by the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat
At the College of Fine Arts, we were given a topic 'Letter Box': Works of Art that captured the essence of writing a letter that seemed now lost with the Internet Revolution.
My art work, titled 'Message in a bottle', was an interactive installation which communicated this very essence. Here like the title suggests, people could leave back a piece of their emotion that was held dormant inside them. The Installation comprised of an empty bottle placed on a heap of sand. A person could drop their message by writing on a piece of paper, rolling it, inserting it into the bottle and sealing it with a cork.
This Art Work was awarded a place in the “Special Mention Category" which was curated by Prof. Dr. Joseph A. Henselmann.
