As we walk into the expanse of the Jehangir Art Gallery terrace on a Wednesday morning, our gaze stops at a 12-feet high grid made of stainless steel rods, structured like a series of hollow cuboids. The geometric pattern is reflected on the surface of the four mirrors around it, each reflection distinct from the other. "Just like our memories, when visited from different perspectives," says Vir Kotak, as he adds the finishing touches, a few hours ahead of the opening of his show, The Memory Project. Kotak, who comes from a lineage of entrepreneurs, is the joint managing director of the JB Maxi Group. While his day job as an entrepreneur seems miles away from his art, he feels the two aren't as mutually exclusive as they seem to be. "As an entrepreneur, I create businesses — working in that environment is actually an art in itself," says Kotak, who took a little over a year to compile the series.
