"This is the most powerful, meaningful work we have seen', the famous artist exclaimed to the crowd. 'This is a picture of what could have been a dystopian future. One which offers no hope. However, students, do you see how it has been torn up and repositioned? This signifies that our visionary here, Kabir, has refused to accept any ugly forecast. His picture tells us that we can tear it up and start afresh. Think afresh. Find new solutions. Think of extraordinary ways to make it a more beautiful world. Thank you Kabir".

Principal De murmured too, 'Thank you, Kabir.' She was, however, on the microphone, and therefore the whole crowd of students followed her lead. Hundreds of young voices rang out as one. 'Thank you, Kabir.'
