A Dolphin In The Well

This wall next to the well. This well is the lifeline of the people of Aadarsh Nagar and is also home to some fishes and turtles. It’s a mini village square and the wall that we speak of is literally the most prominent surface there. Just a few days earlier on Holi, kids had ‘spoiled’ this wall with hand prints and so Anpu was tasked by the owner to do what she could to make it beautiful again.

Within a day, Anpu turned up with a ladder and painted her magic. The idea behind painting this wall was to make a playful piece that would make it seem as if a dolphin would be jumping into the well, adding to the already existing aquatic life. And actually, the frame of the dolphin makes it look as if it really is jumping out at you.
