“I could have been blank and usual. I would still do my job which was to merely block. But when some minds thought, I turned out to be much more. Much more than blank and usual. Now there was meaning; there was color; I was beautiful and I felt alive. The envying look in the eyes of all those people who walk in to use the pool, especially the gleam in the eyes of kids – and I realize that I am crafted well and have a significant role here. I feel like ‘the wall’ and not just a wall.” PS: This is the wall along the pool side of one of the latest project I worked on with Good Earth in Cochin. Recycled bottles and blocks with mud plaster – that is all it took to make this ‘the wall’.
