- St. Regis, Mumbai

- Tulle
Created to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic, this installation reimagines peace not as an untouchable ideal, but as a lived experience: imperfect and deeply human. Inspired by the Casta Diva from Norma by Vicenzo Bellini, intricately knotted tulle creates an immersive, spatial depiction of peace. The shades of green, white and red pay homage to the Italian flag, continuously transforming through shifts in light, movement and presence. The installation invites viewers into a slow, attentive state, evoking a sense of care, openness and mutual trust. “Where we soften into each other, peace begins.” - Minnal Gala
