The sound of silence
21 stills from what was meant to be 21 days. An attempt to see calm and the beauty within the restraint that is life at the moment. If you can hear the voices in my head between the stills, they're real. If you can see hear the peace within the stillness, it's real. Life is this, real or real.

Corona Migrants
Just 21 strokes of black paint are used to create this cutie. If you look closely, you will spot a sunflower head, a fishtail, feather hands, leaf buds, a butterfly in a cocoon and a lot more. All this in some parts is me right now, during this lockdown.

21 Days Homage to Asexuality
Life division, is in itself, a manner of lockdown, a mental storm. I am referring to my performance partner, as to how we divide ourselves, and from the outset of the lockdown being announced, I began to recall my mentor, Jogen Choudhury, word’s: “Your feelings may be stored in creation.” This particular work is a personal homage to him, an attempt to relocate past memory and discover as to why we have both stored in our creative “box”. It is a 21 day journey, each day filled with the personal feelings of mine, on reality and the present. Moreover, my text is just as this…

It's hard to deny
In such a situation my artistic thinking is revealed with the things that are available on hand used in everyday life. Such as use of nine glasses, acrylic colour, pen and ink, handmade paper, writing through the Some reference and how many lines are drawing. Altogether a mutual relationship is formed by twenty one objects.

"This piece is inspired by a beautiful teaching by Buddhist nun and teacher Pema Chodron. “ Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved.
They come together and they fall apart.
Then they come together again and fall apart again, Its just like that.
The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery for joy.”
(1414 came together in this piece unintentionally, and on reading up I found that it symbolizes that your angels are near. Serendipity!)Material

"“Listening to the quite voice within me...
Exploring infinite dimensions within myself...
Standing on the thresh hold of new experience...
I have been painting The Canvas of my life...
Drop by drop...word by word...
To unwrap my own destiny...
Passion flows through me Like a stream of colour In the flames of passion I create breathtakingly Beautiful masterpieces From the deep sea of mystery Somewhere between Memories and fantasies Between echoes of silence and hope...
I am intoxicated and addicted to the power creativity...
My inner fire is what keeps me going” " -

Don't follow others, follow yourself! It takes just one to change things. The graphic contains 21 dots as proposed by @stir_world. The 20 of them follow the same path however, the 21st makes the move, it's right in the centre! Today, we all have become a prey to the commonness. We fear to try something new, to be unique, different. We fail to recognise and cherish the true us, which could've transformed us, transformed in a way that we'd have never thought of! So go ahead...in this quarentine try something new, something which is closer to you, closer to who you are! MAKE YOUR PATH!

The Corollary
The artwork submitted is made by using 21 equal sized rectangular blocks ( Jenga blocks used from my children’s game ). The colours , black and white and the overall tone of the artwork depicts the state of mind at large, which is visible across the world. The model depicts the vertical movement of our society which will soon start reflecting in every sphere of our society and very evidently in architecture.

The Sanitizer Compulsion Device
Amid the outbreak, one of the most important aspects of Prevention is sanitising your physical contact with the world - 'Your Hands'. Most of the spread of this Virus can be traced to surface contamination passed on by infected individuals caused due to no/improper sanitisation. Moreover, the mass spread can be avoided by keeping better practices of sanitisation at individual level.
Only a practice like this can ensure we flatten the curve. It is as easy as it effective. Automating this procedure at points of compulsory exit/entry can substantially being down the contamination. This Device works on a very simple principle of -Press to sanitize and Exit. Making disinfecting Compulsory at This device fits on any given design of public door, simple to maintain and use. Keeps most of area of palm exposed to the sprayed jet by minimising the negative space and structural elements inside the apparatus. Structural elements can be easily laser cut and assembled with least amount of skill and at individual level without much hassle. -

We have to rise above that which pulls us down. Life is unpredictable we have to be open to change . Train our mind to adapt ,and see the positive side of things in any circumstance . Once we are through this we will learn to respect and focus not only on success but significance,so even the small steps and little victories along our path will take on a greater meaning.
It’s taught us to be simple ,even frugal , because the less that you learn to live with the happier you will be .
We will also value with renewed interest all the cogs in our daily life who help us achieve our goals .
Learn to source from closer so wether you are talking about design , furniture , or material , keep it local keep it from around . In this way ensuring that we are moving towards a more sustainable future. -

"""We say that flowers return every spring, but that is a lie. It is true that the world is renewed. It is also true that that renewal comes at a price, for even if the flower grows from an ancient vine, the flowers of spring are themselves new to the world, untried and untested.
The flower that wilted last year is gone. Petals once fallen are fallen forever. Flowers do not return in the spring, rather they are replaced. It is in this difference between returned and replaced that the price of renewal is paid.
And as it is for spring flowers, so it is for us.""" -

The installation has been derived with the idea of 21 narrations of different communities or portraits that represent different societies of a nation. Those documentries are audible from the cubicles designed The red threads represent the spread of corona virus through a person to person or a community spread. The chaos is developed from the thread structure to represent how this virus spreads. In contrasting context, the nature is regenerating itself, Taking it form through today's condition of human civilization. This complete installation is a COVID Memorial which tells different aspects of this virus.

Sitting, waiting fluttering with hope
I clicked this photograph of 21 Pigeons atop a cabin in a canal in Venice (the windows on that burnt Siena wall are seen because the windows of the cabin are mirrored) in December 2015. As life waits to take flight again, this memory becomes ever more significant.

A new constellation is coming into place
"With the spread of Covid-19 , our lives have come to an unexpected halt. This is yet another ""big bang' that is stirring inside all of us and it creates an amalgamation of emotions that we experience every 24hrs which we otherwise would rather ignore.
If we embrace all of our versions in this chaos we shall align ourselves into a new constellation (galaxy) altogether. " -

21 colours of qurantine.
"The installation represents the colours and souls we have come across in the times of self Isolation. This is surely the toughest scenario our generation has seen, but at the same time, it has allowed us to self reflect, slow down from our busy lives and go deep inside ourselves to find the things we love doing. It has helped us understand the different colours we are made of and how these colours live with us in these times. They are like shadows you could talk to, play with and understand yourself better.
The installation thus takes the 21 colours and the 21 following shadows as a metaphor to the 21 versions of ourselves that we have discovered during the past 21 days. Installation uses Kinect as a sensor. ." -

"An illusion is a distortion of the sense, which can reveal how the human brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. People generally make perception according to the way their brain works which generates false beliefs and assumptions or distorted reality. I have made 7 triangles using 21 stitches in a way that they give an illusionary effect. One of each triangle's angles is merging into a point and the other two angles of these triangles are giving an effect of forming an arc, one after another.
Here I have used a triangle as a form of faith (Christian context), an arc represents the symbolism of the circle as moving life and growth, and a point (center point) that represents the notion of the self. Right now we all need to have faith in ourselves and the universe that it will only grow towards magnanimity of life.
You can easily see this type of illusionary behavior and that's what we need to change to broaden our mind and give space to the sanguine, especially in the current situation. The world needs to act with one accord and not in a mutinous way." -

"In my artwork I deal with different steps of speedness. Mumbai which is called as one of the fastest cities in the world is exspacially an interesting place to deal with that item. For a long time I have been wondering myself how it may feel, if something seriously will happen and as an effect of that people have to slow down or even need to standstill. ln 21 works are equivalent to 21 cityscenes which deal with fastness, blurry ness and standstill. Standstill is formally shown in the ""speed stripes"" you can see in several pictures. 21. Is the number of days of the originally faced shutdown in India. 21 is a mythological number it's found in spiritual coherences all over the world 21 Tarot cards - great arcanas 21 ""vollkommenen Weisheiten"" in bible 21 as the inverse of the number 12 meaning the 12 apostle 21 is the auspicious number in indian mythology"

In this artwork a family is portrayed where parents are loving and protecting his child. They are conversing with their child that enjoy every moment what you have, whichever situation you are in today. The current situation in earth is a lesson for human kind. Look through the window the nature is breathing and replenishing again. We should not break the balance between nature and humanity. Humanity will stand again and will continue to exist and will continue to bloom brighter after every dark scar in the history of mankind. Sunshine is coming.

Lifeline
One heartbeat... Many makes a lifeline... Today as we battle an unfortunate pandemic, we are forced to retreat indoors. While we are forced to stay away from many, we find comfort within. Within the boundaries of our home, we nurture love, hope for a better tomorrow, connect with those we have lost touch, and forgive those we held a grudge against. It's a matter of perspective. Home is where the heart is.

The New Dawn
Though it feels like doomsday, it feels unbearable at times, it is also a time for introspection and reflection, time to see how we all are truly inter-connected. That it is important to calibrate our outlook to our environment, what is truly essential and how it is time to live a more awakened life. It is The New Dawn!

Stage For One.
I’ve always been awkward in front of the camera, an effect of comparing myself with the perfect figures I grew up looking at in media. I decided to resolve with myself and negate the consciousness I feel about my body and my childish face. I treated myself as the model and created roles for me to play. Baring myself in this way, I removed the fear and discomfort in my own imperfections and started to enjoy the role play.

Here are 21 days of clouds from around the world for you to imagine a whole world within. This project aims to make people enjoy the beauty of the cumulus to a cumulonimbus. It is an attempt to encourage people to pause for a moment from their busy lives and look up and build castles in the clouds. As G.K. Chesterton said, “There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.”

21 Emotions
In this pandemic, we have been isolated, limited and restricted; it has stirred within us a sense of awareness and responsibility and making us realise what we have taken for granted. A human spirit is free, it’s mind and thoughts a nomad-never chained in one position. From this isolation if one thing that has emerged it has been the importance of mobility and how movement is essential for our well being and existence.
In these times of isolation, the world has never before been so unified and connected; if countries are the independent body parts and the mind represents the people residing in those borders then the collective effort to win against this virus is like a coordinated effort of mind connected to a healthy body.We have put a collage of movements to signify 21 emotions; each emotion captured in fluidity of a dance movement. We believe that the expression of dance, is most expressive and liberating and can capture the true sentiments reflecting our dark times.
We, ADND, have collaborated with @NethraMenon in capturing these emotions that have been stirred within us during this lockdown.
The video is complimented with a poster at the end forming a collage of each emotion. -

"Not delineated space. 20 straight lines pointing all the same center, plus 1 curved line. The straight lines are spaced in order to create different groups. The numbers of elements of each group is growing as a sum of elements of the previous group. The Fibonacci's serie.
The curved line represent the growth obtained by continuous elements.
This represent the evolution, the growth." -

United By Colours
Here's to the acid attack survivor, the misfits, the one who battled breast cancer, the one we call fat and dark, the one whose acne riddled face takes away her confidence to speak her mind, the amputated survivor, the old and wrinkled...I can keep on adding to this list. All these women, you and me, are beautiful because beauty is not what is on the outside. It is what you are made of, it is in your stride, it is about your enduring journey, it is even your failures wherein you rise above after and find possibilities in the darkest circumstances, it is in your flight after the fight. We all are beautiful. We all are strong. It is time we appreciate ourselves a little more and the ones around us. With this thought in mind, I drew 8 women with different issues, but equally beautiful and strong as any other. 21 colours were used in making this artwork.

Creativity
Covid lockdown can actually prove to be a 'blessing in disguise' to unleash your creativity. Creativity flows when your mind is relaxed and you have a lot of time for yourself. Remember the book that you always wanted to write, the hobby that you wanted to pursue, cooking skills that you wanted to hone, the musical notes you wanted to master, a small kitchen herb garden that you wanted to start or a life saving hack that you wanted to learn. Perhaps, now is the time...

Anxieties by the door. Pandemonium of the outside world defines the state of indoors! .
This pandemic brings emotions to the level of anxiety, where we hold our thoughts and opinions more strongly now. Our opinions and thoughts are glued in our heads and constantly building the concerns, and wanting the solutions instantly. This art installation depicts the notion of anxiety at large. Are you aware of your own actions? We can't step out but we are still trying to remain active upfront by expressing our anxieties, worries or opinions out loud on social platforms. As humans, we hold a cumulative responsibility to be aware of our own actions and not cater to the whims of the pathetic, igniting our own self-interests. We need to be aware of mental health issues and the impact of our actions, given this period of time. So we as a citizen should take the utmost care of our minds, and place our anxieties at the corner of our houses at the door. The front liners are busy dealing with the crisis, the government is focusing on measures to handle the chaos, the responsible ones are being busy doing their duties. The necessary is being done! But, are you aware of your own actions? Let us work and think about our every action towards the larger good.

chance redressal in 21 lines, inspired from method of Dadaist poetry writing.
Inspired from Tristan Tzara’s method of writing a Dadaist poem. With the lockdown of 21 days and being away from my studio, which posed a material constraint, the period presented an opportunity to experiment with material at home. Glued to the news reading and channel, especially in the first week of the lockdown, the announcement of the further extension of the lockdown brought to mind the news and speeches of world leaders during this chaos. Subsequently, I collected some of the first speeches of world leaders delivered during this lockdown to their fellow citizens asking to maintain social distance and calm to fight the COVID19 crisis. Disconnecting the words of each speech and then threading them back together into a new poem of chance, to find a new meaning way to address these surreal times.

Perspective
The abstract art I have made by 21 brush strokes hold a very common message, "Perspective". Perspective of different sides. The '9' from mine is '6' from yours same as one bite of an apple I have eaten I am seeing, but might not the person who stand in front of me. Neither he lies nor I am but lack of complete overview clashes thoughts. In real life too we should not judge or decide anything without perspective. That's why a judge listen to both side. Everything is balanced in this universe and everything should be.

As the Coronavirus scare keeps us home, I wish to question child abuse that has seen a stark rise in the four walls of a house recently and have done so in 21 strokes for the #STIRcreativity challenge.

Shelters
Life can be viewed as a loop between human activity and material surroundings and space is configured not as a container, but is continually produced through activity....spaces that cannot be verifiably surveyed,mapped or measured. Lived spaces communicate our sensorial experience of remembering or imagining a place, as opposed to being within or outside of it. Informed by the multifarious relationships that individuals and collectives have with shelters and environment, I question the personal understanding of a place as a filtered sequence of encounters that encompasses its own set of narratives, aesthetic textures and subliminal thoughts. ‘Shelters’ offers itself as a visual metaphor of lived experiences and a tactile archive to address the complex subject of ‘belonging’. It explores the physiological makeup of a shelter and our sense of space within it.... an abstract rendering of a concrete reality.

Inception of Life
Nature keeps thriving just like that women nurture some mysterious, creative and revitalizing energy in them that when cultivated has the power to create, transform and ultimately transcend. It gives birth to a new life, a newborn signifying new beginnings, purity. Babies are vulnerable, true to their nature, unaware of the race of life. As the saying "life goes on" so keep walking with grace and gratitude through the shades of life. Enjoy your life for what it is - a beautiful gift.

The 21-day Project
We decided to take up a task at the start of the lockdown, to design a new product everyday and visualise it for you - the result was 21 designs for 21 days! While we stuck to our approach of minimal designs, we also combined a new material with wood. We tried to highlight a functional element of each design, that became the aesthetic of the product in itself - a product that would serve a function but was a piece of art too.

Pudhil Station : 2021 | Nature takes over | Bombay's Lifeline | 21 Frames
"It is we who need them, not them who need us.
Today, our world has been brought to a stand still, to give nature a chance to breathe, to heal, to grow out of the wounds given by the mankind.
As we mindlessly take and take from mother nature, it is their turn to take from us. My artwork depicts Nature taking over the heart and soul, the lifeline of my city Mumbai. And all this while, all we wish for, is to catch the fast local to the year 2021." -

USE LESS – made using 21 items that we over use in our daily lives.
"During this lockdown spending more time with my own self I have realized that as we start making more money, we tend to over use a lot of things in our daily lives and also end up wasting a lot of it, because we actually don’t care and we can afford it. There a strong need to not waste electricity, food, water and paper and not to buy access of our daily needs.
I have also realized that the amount of packaged food and sugar that we consume has gone up significantly in the last decade, there is a need to cut down on sugar and packaged foods. And yes, how can we forget our dear friend the smart phone, its actually making us unsmart with excess usage.
Don’t be useless, USE LESS!
electricity, water, paper, mobile phones, cosmetics, clothes, accessories, packaged food and sugar." -

Distance means so little, when life means so much.... “My mask protects you, your mask protects me”..."
