Inspired by the gypsy girl, self-taught artist Sreeja Vijaykumar s latest exhibition also called Kakkothy uses seashells and feathers as a medium of expression. “Everyone is attracted to the seashell,” says Sreeja, who explains that the offbeat has always been her way of expressing herself. “For many, it is just part of Zoology.
