Theme: Cosmos: The Universe Within

This event occurred on

BENGALURU, Karnataka
India

"Cosmos" unfolds the universe one creates for oneself. When there is no predefined purpose or meaning, the significance we attribute to our lives moulds itself, much like water taking the shape of its container. Purpose, existence, and meaning become what individuals craft for themselves. We are what we choose to be. Our cosmos is the reality that we create and live towards, the meaning we provide, and what we ultimately wish to experience during our time here. We are the architects, it is our theory that shapes our cosmos.
