During my time working in Bangalore for architecture training, I would walk 2 kilometers in the mornings and evenings as a way to save time and money. The streets in the housing colony were pleasant during the mornings, but in the late evenings, I would often encounter barking dogs that would frighten me. It was a challenging situation, as running in the streets of Bangalore was not a practical solution. However, I had no other choice but to face my fear and stand my ground. Surprisingly, within a week, the dogs stopped running towards me and reduced their behavior to just barking. And in just two weeks, they stopped altogether.
This experience taught me a valuable lesson about fear - that it resides within oneself and can be overcome with a determined mindset. This installation represents the idea that if you refuse to be frightened, fear will listen and respond accordingly.
