Kalpana is a young artist from the Indian state of Kashmir, who is blessed with an unusual talent that she has painstakingly learned from her aging guru. As her hand creates an artistic image on paper, a second meaningful picture miraculously materialises when the picture is rotated, depicting the antithesis of the first image, and invoking an ancient Hindu belief that life is full of dualities. Urged by her guru to share this talent and its underlying message with the world, young Kalpana enters her “reversible creations” in an international art contest … with surprising results. The story is told by an invisible guardian angel through an impressive and unparalleled collection of “reversible” images that take the viewer by surprise at every rotation. This a moving narrative about the young artist Kalpana, of the message behind her unique and tantalizing talent, and of her journey halfway around the world.
