Scoliosis Series

 In her scoliosis series, Nandini Kotawala explores the silent, invisible battles that shape us. Through Break Free, Caged, and Embrace Your Imperfections, she traces a deeply personal journey of struggle, resilience, and acceptance, one that resonates far beyond her own story.
Living with scoliosis, Nandini learned that strength is not the absence of hardship, but the ability to live fully within it. Each artwork captures a different facet of this journey: the desire to break free from limitations, the feeling of being trapped within one’s own body, and ultimately, the choice to embrace imperfection as a form of beauty.
Her series speaks to anyone who has carried invisible burdens, the quiet battles fought away from the world’s gaze. Through meticulous craftsmanship and emotional depth, Nandini creates a space where scars are not hidden, but honored; where vulnerability becomes a source of power; and where healing is not the return to what was, but the celebration of what is.

This is not a story of brokenness. It is a story of transformation.
