Tree of Life mural (Manav Gupta)

The Tree of Life[1] is a large three-dimensional mural[2] by artist Manav Gupta, located across the interior staircase of the Bharti Airtel office[3] building in Gurgaon, India.

Gupta allowed the 3500 employees at the site, the experience of putting their brush strokes, while on their job, in the initial half of the project.

A philosophical perspective was highlighted in the artist's statement while addressing the translation of his sustainable development ideology in his site specific intervention.

[8] Each element depicted on respective floor beginning from earth to water to air, space and fire mingle with one another to create symbolism of an ever growing state of energy in the universe.

I then transformed all multifarious hues, shapes, colors and idioms into a composite mega canvas that spoke one language as a work of art for me to create the above story-line.
