Moving between the temporary architectures of the pandal and the ecological realities of post-ritual sites, the work reflects on what remains once symbols, structures, and ceremonies begin to dissolve. Through cycles of construction, immersion, collapse, and renewal, the installation considers the tensions between reverence, infrastructure, and the rapid reshaping of land, memory, and environment.

"In Search of the Cannibal Internet" is a theoretical framework exploring how digital communities reclaim and repurpose commercial technology. It is the title of a digital culture essay by curator Doreen A. Ríos, exploring anti-colonial concepts tied to Oswald de Andrade's 1928 Cannibalist Manifesto. The essay proposes the concept of the "Cannibal Internet" as a method of digital resistance against Big Tech. Rather than being a sinister hidden website or dark web phenomenon, it refers to decentralized, community-run networks.
