New Beginnings

“New Beginnings" is an installation of seven colourful punching bags. These have undergone a transformation, involving the participation of seven women and non-binary artists.They were encouraged to utilize pigments and tools, infusing the bags with their personal experiences while addressing movement, anger, and violence as agents of transformation. Later the artist visibly mended the works, preparing them for exhibition. 

"New Beginnings" proposes the idea of a rage release infrastructure—a concept where public spaces offer soft structures for emotional release. Reimagining cities and buildings providing spaces where individuals can express their anger and let go of resentment.
