As the pandemic seethed across the world in 2020, craftsman Manish Nai had a solitary center plan. He expected to concoct a method for cutting tempered steel into bended bars. He likewise expected to sort out some way to pack aluminum into little roundels — a theme that is flung across his works, but in more flexible material like fabric, paper and jute — and stick them on to the bars. Throughout the two years, in the severe lockdown, Nai worked with fabricators in Gujarat and later, Mumbai, and made more than 500,000 packed aluminum roundels and 300 bended bars. He then went through more than a year assembling the establishment.

Every tempered steel bar filled in as an armature on which 300 roundels were stuck on utilizing extraordinarily planned water powered machines. The bars, which at this point weighed 1000 kilograms, were then positioned one next to the other in a round style — part of them underneath the ground and upheld on an establishment — to such an extent that an individual could go for a stroll inside the establishment. The final product is so anyone might be able to see: stroll into the Godrej grounds at Vikhroli, and the doughnut molded establishment named Zero lies on a fix of green between the two places of business (Godrej One and Godrej Two), encompassed by other momentous outside establishments including one by Subodh Gupta (Worship for All) and one more by Neha Choksi (Child's Grove).
