The word Keralam comes from \u201cKera,\u201d meaning coconut, which becomes the core of the concept. The installation reflects the life of migrants from Kerala, people who return home once a year, reconnect with their roots, relive memories, and interact with others before leaving again for work and life elsewhere. The pavilion is designed as a concrete stepped amphitheatre. Behind the steps, hooks are integrated where people hang coconuts. Fresh coconuts represent people returning home. Over time, the coconuts begin to dry, and after one or two months, they are fully dried. On the final day, the coconuts are burned, symbolising their departure back to distant places. Yet, the permanent concrete structure remains, waiting for the next return.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d0f9af elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial wcf-starter-animations-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8d0f9af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-2-1024x576.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-93\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-2-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-2-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-2.png 1672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61a6977 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial wcf-starter-animations-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"61a6977\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/website-11111-1024x576.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-480\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/website-11111-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/website-11111-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/website-11111-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/website-11111-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/website-11111-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/website-11111.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6d7401 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial wcf-starter-animations-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e6d7401\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wcf_starter_animations&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;wcf_anim_duration&quot;:1000,&quot;wcf_anim_delay&quot;:0,&quot;wcf_anim_ease&quot;:&quot;ease&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-5-1024x684.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-293\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-5-1024x684.png 1024w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-5-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-5-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-5-1536x1026.png 1536w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-5-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/anjaybabu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LIFE-OF-COCONUT-5.png 1672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3f6563 e-con-full e-flex wcf-starter-animations-none wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-column-slider-no wpr-equal-height-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c3f6563\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-1443722-4d1bb4b e-paragraph-base\" data-interaction-id=\"1443722\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABOUT WORK SCENOGRAPHY COLLABORATION CONTACT ABOUT WORK SCENOGRAPHY COLLABORATION CONTACT LIFE OF A COCONUT \u201cLife of a Coconut\u201d is an installation designed for the Literature Festival Keralam.
