Tamanna School

vijaynagar, 2018

Kashmira, among 5 Indian artists worked with XXL Collective at Tamanna School - institute of learning for specially-abled children - to wrap the walls of the school with a visual journey around the theme of ‘Imperfection’.  Nothing in nature is perfect and that's the beauty of it. Artists worked on themes of  air, water, earth and fire.Kashmira painted on the theme of ‘air’, depicting soft and seemingly weightless organisms flying around three walls of the courtyard. With a soft color palette, the artist wanted to make this mural approachable for the kids, almost by inviting them to touch and find the miniature versions of themselves floating within it.
