Thrissur: People around the world are revisiting their long lost hobbies during the coronavirus pandemic, a woman hailing from Kaipamangalam in Kerala's Thrissur district chose to do bottle art in this quarantine period.
Shahila is a homemaker who has used her free time to find a silver lining during the pandemic. Soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced 21-day lockdown following coronavirus outbreak, Shahila started to stimulate her creative side with things she finds at home.
After almost two weeks into lockdown, her drawing room can be seen adorned with beautiful creatives made out of waste material, thanks to self-quarantine orders that let her creative juices flow.
Among the creatives, the bottle art is the most attractive and beautiful. Shahila has beautified the bottles at her home with the help of fabric and acrylic paints, giving us some amazing ideas not only to decorate our home but also how to make full use of waste material, which we otherwise throw.
"I believe that anything which we throw into the waste bin could be a possible raw material for beautiful pieces of art. My husband and three children helped me in turning out these bottles into decoratives," said Shahila, who is not resented by the fact that lockdown has confined her at home instead she is having the time of her life.
"Indulging ourselves in the artwork is helping us cope up with the chaotic, unpredictable and stressful times. I am happy to get involved in creating things out of my imagination," said Shahila, who believes the free-time during lockdown can yield productive results if used efficiently.
Thrissur woman is giving us some ideas on how can this lockdown period be the most creative one.
The way she is turning her quarantine period into the most productive one will make us see it as more of a blessing than a curse.
