Ultimately, Kashink hopes that the mural she leaves behind in Chennai will resonate beyond the present moment. “I hope people feel inspired to be okay with who they are and to accept themselves, even reaching a place of self-love. What I want my art to do is bring joy and reconnect people with their inner child,” she remarks.
Ahead of this International Women’s Day, she says, “It’s important to remember that we can all connect with our creativity. And when we do that, we can connect with bigger energies, positive energies, creation, life, light.” She adds, “Women have their creative potential — men do as well — but it’s very important that we practice this creativity”.
As Chennai’s streets continue to evolve into open-air galleries, initiatives like Wall Art India reinforce the idea that art does not have to remain confined within museum walls.
