This odd installation had speakers in the sculpture emanating disembodied sounds. Here is the description from the exhibit: "Every action has a reaction. Likewise every every event like Corruption, Terrorism, Globalization, Women Exploitation, Social imbalance, Religious discrimination etc leaves a mark, good or bad. Even though if it subsides for the moment it never dies, there's always a possibility for different situations. Our heart, mind and body would differ in their reactions. Imagine if all our reactions were to prove their existence individually, they would explode from our body and scream as loud as they can, threatening our existence. Like a fungus kills the same organism on which it takes birth & thrives."
