The graphic designer and 3D visual artist from New Delhi, India, was invited by the Academy to create a representation of the statuette inspired by her love of movies.

"Movies are the vehicles of the mind. Our bodies are in one place but everything else that makes us living, breathing human beings are busy feeling, absorbing and believing the stories and characters that the art of filmmaking so beautifully sketches. The Oscars are a celebration of the diversity of voices and people that are masters of this very art. My exploration is an attempt at making the immersive power of movies visual; the Oscar statue acts as a representation of every movie viewer that is transported to another world, watching the story unravel all around them."
