Lisa Roet, Chimpanzee Hands, 2007

I remember the day very well. I had just joined the University and was checking out the campus with a friend of mine for the first time. That was when I came across this sculpture, in front of the RMIT Building 6. I was so mesmerized and intrigued by the intricacies in it, that I had to take a picture.
