The Highways gallery is featuring THUMS UP N UP, an installation re-purposing Indian soda bottles into objects with critical and playful meanings. A vessel whose function is over can enjoy freedom, while a vessel is similarly thought of as a container for the soul. The installation by Yatin Parkhani explores that intersection and touches upon different forms of consumption — all ultimately satiating humans needs.
