Shattered Light

Adarsh, a curious 29-year-old autistic artist at Sense Kaleidoscopes, radiates discipline and joy. Despite navigating severe seizures and challenges in communication and regulation, he approaches his craft with deep commitment. Self-taught in 12 languages and fascinated by watches, films, and radio, Adarsh merges his many passions into his art. Rejected by many schools, he found belonging at SK, where his creativity thrives. His works—sculpture, print, theatre, and more—have been showcased at the Kochi Biennale and Outsider Art Fair in Paris. Adarsh’s story is one of perseverance, humour, and growth.
