  • THE TREE of WISHES India's Most Famous Creator of Public Art Installations Takes Things to the Next Level
    53 THE TREE OF WISHES India's Most Famous Creator of Public Art Installations Takes Things to the Next Level Vibhor Sogani is famous for creating India’s largest and most visible public art installations, including the 'Sprouts', a Delhi Government initiative towards the beautification of Delhi, a 40 ft high stainless steel installation spread over six acres of greens in the heart of the city. His latest work, titled Kalpavriksha – The Wish Fulfilling Tree, simply takes the breath away. Sogani, born in Jaipur, Rajasthan, specialized in Industrial Design from the prestigious National Institute of Design, in Ahmedabad, India. Given his diverse interests, Sogani has engaged in a wide range of creative projects in the areas of exhibition, graphic, retail and product design, for top global brands. Over the years, Sogani has exhibited his works in various design and art shows. Sogani’s creations are recognized globally and Kalpavriksha – The Wish Fulfilling Tree in Ahmedabad, is perhaps the largest public art installation in the state and the second largest in India. Kalpavriksha - The Wish Fulfilling Tree is a 35-foot high stainless steel installation that stands in the center of a roundabout in the Arvind Group's upcoming Uplands residential development, in Ahmedabad. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding landscape, the installation is an abstraction of a tree, blending into the serene, flowing greens around it. Embracing the nature of life and constancy of change, the installation transforms itself with changes in the environment: on a bright, sunny day, the installation sparkles, and appears soft and diffused when the sky is overcast.

The name ‘Serengeti’ comes from the word ‘siringet’ used by the Maasai, which means ‘the place where the land runs on forever.’ The miles-long drive to the park is scattered with picturesque landscapes. The guide informed us that the park was established in 1952, and is without a doubt the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world.
