The painting shows a colleen, with sad expressions. In this painting, I
wanted to show the pain of girls and women how much they face the problem of
education in Kashmir due to the conflict between the two countries. This
painting shows that like every child the children of Kashmir and lasses also
want to educate themselves but they can't because of the war. I wanted to show the struggle
and problems that a Kashmiri lass faces during her education. Education is a
way to fly so they think to get that but because of that environment, most of
the lasses leave their high schools. The feathers on the head of the woman show
that she wants to fly high and high but the restriction due to war in her
region doesn’t permit her to do that. The big eyes show the with sorrow and sadness. The red
color in the necklets of the female shows the affliction of the daughters of
Kashmir. The hair of the colleen is filled with lines that show the disturbance
of their lives and the war with which they deal in their heads. The feather in
this painting shows hope, with this hope the women of that area live that one
day all this will finish and they will enjoy the sun of peace. The feather of
the girl shows the power of education for a colleen.
