The City of Redmond invited Deepti Agrawal to paint a wall mural LIVE over three days to form part of the Redmond ArtWalk. Deepti Agarwal and Nikita Thakalath led the project with about 15 volunteering artists.
We created Kalptaru - The Wishing Tree, right in the middle of Redmond Downtown Park. The art features a dancing monochrome tree with a vibrant background filled with a variety of flowers, leaves, and birds. At the bottom of the tree is a stream of water with lotuses and colorful fish.
"Hello" in ten different Indian languages is scripted on the tree trunk and the names of the volunteering artists in their native languages were inscribed in the folds of the water. The composition represents the harmonious and peaceful coexistence of different species in an inclusive environment, thereby representing Redmond City at the subliminal level.
