It took her 5 days of constant work, day in and day out, with the help of a team of 5-6 members, to complete this artwork. She says, “it was a challenge as we were working at a place with high traffic area and there was no footpath. But a lot of people and vehicles stopped to talk to us. It was a wonderful experience to interact with so many people while working on a mural in a public place. , public art always wanted a sense of belonging, and, you know, enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors.”
