Let go
Remember those times as a child when you got a balloon and it slipped and lifted to the sky.
All of us have something we want to let go of, small thoughts and feelings
that get trapped in the nets of our hearts. The process of letting go can be hard but believe it or not simple
gestures can make it easier.
We have all watched a balloon making its way up into the sky
and related to it as a sign of freedom and letting go.
Shreya Naik is a Mumbai based artist who believes that she can
change the world with art, color, glitter and glue. As an artist she
ideates and conducts art installations merged with socio-interactive experiments which
provoke people to introspect and change a small part of them
through art and thus eventually change the entire world through it.
Shreya too realized how much a silly childish game could change
her state of mind, and it was most certainly a cheaper alternative
than raiding Zara! So she decided to make a project of it and share
her little trick with the world.
This is how it works.Step 1: Come by the installation
Step 2: Write down anything you want to let go of on the notecard you will receive at the entrance.
This is completely anonymous.
Step 3: Find a vacant ballon and stick the notecard onto it
**All the balloons will be on display as part of the installation maze and open
for people to browse through each others thoughts and feelings and unknowingly inspire each other.
Step 4: Come back to the installation at the end of the day at the time specified, find your balloon and let it go. Incase you don't find your balloon pick someone else's and help them let go just as some stranger might help
you.
