About the work

A reinterpretation of the London Design Biennale 2023’s Inner Peace Pavilion unfolds within the meticulously reconstructed Nelson Staircase, rebuilt after WWII.  "Inner Peace" enacts a metaphorical soul-purification, offering a unique rite of passage towards a new era of universal empathy, highlighting the wisdom of God and the generosity of Earth.  

At the heart of the Music-Mind-Textiles is an enchanting “waterfall-like” installation flows in a seamless continuum. The innovative textile transcends inert materiality to become a responsive, living organism — a rigorously orchestrated inquiry into how the states of emotion can be externalized, shared, and made sensorially legible as mediating and amplifying human connection, visible in every subtle shift of light and tone. Inner Peace reframes survival as a collective act of attunement — fragile, vital, and sustained through shared presence. Peace is not a static ideal but a living, breathing process unfolding in the luminous interval of hope between one note and the next, heralding “The Future of the Mind."
