Created by artist Arun Kumar H.G., the artwork establishes a striking dialogue between Mumbai’s historical legacy, modern development and aspirations for the future.

Speaking at the inauguration, Rahul Narwekar said, “This public art installation by RPG Art Foundation beautifully reflects the evolution of our city. Through the elephant, the ancient Elephanta Caves and the modern architecture inspired by them, it brings out the balance between the past and the future. It truly represents the spirit of Mumbai.”

Artist Arun Kumar H.G. said, “I am grateful to RPG Art Foundation for giving me the opportunity to create a work of art for such an important location. The historic Elephanta Caves and their magnificent sculptures were a major source of inspiration for me. Through this work, I have tried to bring together Mumbai’s modern aspirations and its deep historical landscape.”

He further revealed that the iconic elephant sculpture from the Elephanta Caves, currently housed at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, served as one of the key inspirations for the artwork.
