Today

‘Today’ is the artist’s ode to the neighbourhood of Kannagi Nagar and, more importantly, its residents – a community of people that has shown itself to know the value of celebrating the little moments in life and one that, according to the artist, embodies the universal maxim of ‘live each day to the fullest’.

Encapsulating life on an ordinary day in the area, the mural features people extending tall, metaphorically alluding to them as the pride of the neighbourhood. Additionally, Do has played with perspective and scale in the piece to manipulate its depth, creating a seemingly never-ending maze of people. While on the one hand, the piece’s various characters represent the diversity of the neighbourhood's community, their maze-like appearance also symbolically echoes the geography of the locality - an area made up of more than 24000 tenements!
