A BST R AC T MO D EL

T he main theme of our model is growth and change. O ne key aspect that we noticed in all the movies were they were trying to break the existing definition and unfair stereotypes. Major concepts like patriotism, love and women empowerment were being redefined. W e call ourselves a free country, but our minds are still chained to the past and its ways. It is quite sad that even in the 21st

century, India is backward in this regard. Drawing from this theme, we intertwined specific aspects and key themes of each movie into it.

T he bottom most layer is a small square and as time passes, the movie achieves to help people’s views grow from a narrow mindset and break the rigid boundaries. W e have represented this by making every consecutive layer loose and unrestricted, the last layer is a free shapeless form.

T he wooden base lined with acrylic sheet shards represent the rigid and close minded ideals that are the foundation of our society.
