Hope (2019) is part of a series of three works created by Michelle Poonawalla that stems from the artist's large-scale multi-sensory installation Introspection, first unveiled at the Kochi Biennial in 2018 and on show at the START 2019. The work draws inspiration from pertinent questions that we find ourselves asking today about where are we headed. Be it climate change, global poverty or war, our actions today impact future generations. The delicate butterflies featured in the works, remind us of the fragility of life, while providing us with a sense of hope and peace as the work prays for love and freedom.
