Ingersoll Rand: Employee Makes a Powerful Statement with 3D Tree Art

Ingersoll Rand Naroda, India, production manager Ritesh Yadav, who enjoys painting in his free time, got inspired during his daily 45-minute walk through nearby Madhav Udhyan Park.

"When walking, I felt bored as I had no one there to interact with," said Ritesh. "Then a thought came at that time that if trees could interact with us, they would offer great stress relief. Trees are living things, they have emotions and they give us shelter and oxygen, but they are mostly ignored. I decided to make 3D paintings on small parts of the dried trunk area with water-based, no-harm paint. People started coming closer to the trees, hugging them and taking photos or selfies with them; they started caring about those trees and they felt happier."
