Hedonist Monk

Hitesh Singhal is the 2015 Adobe Design Achievement Awards winner in the category Exhibition Design for this installation.

"In an age where we deny ourselves nothing and refuse to make any personal sacrifice, the hedonist monk lives his life in dichotomy. The monk achieves salvation by dedicating his life to others, yet the hedonist seeks freedom through self-satisfaction. Will his path lead to transcendence, or travesty? The installation is the shrine of the hedonist monk. It uses the vernacular of a monk but communicates the ideology of a hedonist. The monk meditates on words 'Admire, Desire, Acquire'."
