Before Intervention
BEHIND THE SCENES
Concept Note & Process
This intervention aims to welcome the commuters and viewers b/w the traditions and the future of Kerala.
The old woman embodies her local traditions and wisdom carrying the fruits of the generous soil & protecting it in her arms. The young girl represents the future that she is going towards with a stern and serene gaze. Her school bag on one hand aims at highlighting the importance of education.
The backpack is also a metaphor for the very idea of travelling, exploring new horizons and growing strong and independent.
Thus, connecting with the bus station itself.
