Project Lotus

Undertaken in May 2016, the Barapulla Project was a collaboration between the Delhi Development Authority, Kingdom of the Netherlands and XXL Collective. The job was commissioned to us to initiate the first steps of ‘Project Lotus’ - a collaboration between the governments of India and the Netherlands for treatment of sewage, making it fit for healthy reuse.

Artist Munir got together with artist duo Do & Khatra to paint two pillars of the Barapulla flyover where the research center has been set. As an ode to nature and to this joint effort, a tulip and a lotus - the national flowers of the two countries respectively, have been catpured by the artists. Those magnified flowers with their soft hues aim to empower the viewer with motivating thoughts towards a better future for our environment.
