Artist Comment: The "Tree of Life" is a concept in many of the world's mythologies and religions including a belief that it can grant wishes. In the modern day, we have "wished" for new technological innovations such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). While AI can provide significant benefits to the human civilization, the artist here wants to highlight how this new technology must be harnessed with care and that humans should use these innovations to give back and protect the earth from harm. This relationship is represented through the banyan tree which sends down its roots to fulfil the cyclical nature. The two semi-circular structures of the tree and the earth represents a symbiotic balance of AI and Humans. Concept: Raghu Dev & Rahul Bardhan
