paint as protest.
every flower, every stripe, every brush-mark hand-painted. on why we still do it the slow way.
digital prints are cheap. they're also boring. when a print is on every kurta in every shop, it stops being design and starts being wallpaper.
every painted KALESHI piece is brushed in the studio. one piece, one set of strokes, one set of choices. tomorrow's piece will look related, but never identical.
small protest. small refusal. that's how we do it.
