Baloon Trilogy: Nirvana
The work challenges tenacity, flexibility and versatility of a balloon as a material.
Artist: Vanita Gupta
The work challenges tenacity, flexibility and versatility of a balloon as a material. The artist juxtaposes the concrete with a fragile, ephemeral rubber balloon. She says “I was awestruck at how a modest rubber balloon can challenge the strength of something as solid as concrete.”
