Why?
What
What
We intentionally chose to work with ‘extremely poor’ as their struggle to arrange a day’s meal reminds us of our shared humanity and our obligation to help those in need. We believe that by using our skill-sets and resources to support these communities, we can make a tangible difference in their lives, and in turn we ourselves hope to become better humans.

By leveraging the power of Art based interventions that are cognitively and aesthetically engaging, we are committed to creating positive change. The approach is grounded in valuing the inherent potential of every individual, a deep respect for cultural diversity and a strong belief that Art is instrumental for positive social transformation.
Significance of Collapsed Rusted Canister
Welcome to Rust Cube Foundation Social Service Organization
The collapsed canister logo is a powerful symbol representing the exploitation and disposability prevalent in consumerist societies, particularly focusing on the plight of the impoverished.
- Consumerist Society Symbolism: The collapsed canister signifies the "use and throw" mentality of consumerist societies. Just as the canister is discarded after its contents are used up, it symbolizes how consumerism often treats both objects and people as disposable commodities.
- Oppressor and Oppressed: The analogy of the oppressor and oppressed akin to a canister being emptied highlights the dehumanizing aspects of such exploitation. The absence of attachment emphasizes the lack of empathy and connection between different social classes.
- Exploited Labor and Meagre Wages: The canister, drained of its contents, mirrors how the impoverished are metaphorically drained of their essence through hard labor, yet compensated inadequately. The meagre wage received in return for their significant efforts barely sustains their survival, let alone providing for a better life.
- Generational Poverty and Lack of Opportunities: The imagery of being crushed till death illustrates the cyclical nature of poverty. The absence of opportunities for growth or reform perpetuates this cycle, making it difficult for individuals and families to escape the clutches of poverty.

The SquIrrel
The selfless and inadvertent act of Squirrels burying nuts adds an extra layer of beauty to our ecosystem, making Squirrels as nature's diligent planters. It serves as a delightful reminder of the positive influence these spirited creatures have on our environment.
