Detail of the Kashida embroidery and papier-mâché installation at the Starbucks flagship, J&K

The artwork celebrates Jammu's scenic beauty through Kashida embroidery and traditional papier-mâché. Sumatran tigers rendered in Kashida stand for the brand's Asia-Pacific coffee origins, alongside embroidered mushrooms and herbs, purple saffron flowers and lotus stems (nadru) local to the region, and coffee cherries crafted by local artisans in vivid red papier-mâché _ bright, playful and deliberately loose in form.
