'Heal Anthem' was created by Reena Saini Kallat for Sahmat's 'Art on the Move' exhibition held in New Delhi in 2001. The show, curated by Vivan Sundaram, featured 18 selected artists asked to conceive works around the theme "The city : a site and space for collective identity". The artists were asked to develop their works using the hand-push carts and cycle rickshaws as pedestal or structural support.

Says Reena of her work, " 'Heal Anthem' is a large chair/throne, a resting place, whose back is shaped like a house. The seat of the chair performs the function of an altar, a place for offering wishes that accommodate and celebrate the integration of individual desires". (I002)

"Since the last few years I have been working with candles usually meant for votive offerings. My interest lies in the many thoughts and feelings that run through the mind of the person lighting a candle in a church or a lamp in a shrine. I would like making works about beliefs, about the faith with which these beliefs are carried out with rituals.

Casts of the human form made in different sizes, carried on painted leaves branched from the trope of a family tree are mounted upon the chair/sculpture, like surface upholstery on a large healing/throne. (I001)

The sequence of photographs of the assembly of wax dolls were taken at different stages of their slow melt down after I had them lit signifying the rising hopes and aspirations of those who perform these rituals.

These evocations of cross- fertilized dreams become a song, an attempt to confront fragmentation (both personal as well as social) and the carrier, a station for melting identities".
